Word Filled Wednesday

And we know that
in all things
God
works for the good
of those who love him,
who have been called according to
his purpose.
Romans 8:38
This is my verse for today. I don't have a pretty picture to go along with it..haven't figured out how to do that yet~ :)
BUT,
This verse is VERY special. It was shared with me this week from a dear friend who I had just shared some tuff stuff with that is going on in our family. This is the verse that she said brings peace and goodness to an unfortunate situation. So much good can come...we need to trust God and ASK Him to bring it. Never give up. With God there is no "it's all over" talk. There's GOOD to come...and that's exciting.

And then I received this little bit of encouragement from another friend.
Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" or "Why did God do this to me?" Here is a wonderful explanation!
A daughter is telling her mother how everything is going wrong.
She's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.

Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your cake".

"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers. "Yuck" says her daughter.

"How about a couple of raw eggs?" "Gross, Mom!"

"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?" "Mom, those are all yucky!"

To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!

God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will make something wonderful!
