Romans 8:28 The Scripture to Know!

Romans 8:28
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

In life there are things that happen. We may not fully know why or how but they just do. I know I find myself always trying to rationalize it in my head. Many of the times i find myself asking,why? Why would God allow these things to happen or How could I have changed this from happening to me. I will honestly say the the I factor more times than non is what usually happens for me. You may not believe that all things happen for a reason, heck sometimes I struggle with it too. Although as I look at this scripture I cant help but feel these words in it God causes all things , he is the creator and all knowing Lord of us all and he is seeking us as much as we should be seeking him. The other words are according to His purpose,the end game for God is to be with his people. He gave us free will and that free will is sometimes our own undoing in our journey to eternity. In my free will I have hid my heart from God, done stupid things, denied his power in my life and ran from him even after I knew him. Yet he continues to do things and place events in my life that I know in my hardened heart only he could do and it is to Grow me Spiritually and to give me the patience and fortitude I need. The last part of the Scripture that sums it up for me is this to work together for good to those who love God, ALL things...WORK FOR GOOD that, even though we may not know why or how, God is going to bring good from everything that happens to us because he is LOVE. For those who love GOD, you love God, right? Then that's you too!! WE ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE - God has called us by name. He knew us as He knit us in our mother's womb. He has our best Interest in mind, we are his and he is ours. God bless and keep the fight and especially keep the faith.
