Called According to His Purpose

Romans 8:28 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.

So what does that really mean? Are you a Christian? Have you accepted Jesus in your heart? If Jesus is your Saviour then you are called according to God's purpose. God's purpose is that we are witness's in this world. That we tell others about what Jesus did for us. Show God's love to everybody.

I know from experience's that when something happens that we aren't expecting the last thing that we are thinking about is somehow this works to my good. I am trying to get better at that though.

This morning a friend of mine is having car trouble. I am sure she didn't plan that. Now she has to fix the car. How does that work to her good as the Scripture says. She wasn't on the road when it happened. Let me add that it is very cold here today also. Not a good day to be stranded on the road.

I know what you are all thinking. Now she has to pay to have the car fixed. Let's not be stupid. In this world material things break.

The Bible also says that we have favor in this world with everybody even unbelievers so when she goes to get the car fixed if she beleives that she has favor who knows what good things God will have waiting for her.

Maybe she needs to share the love of God with somebody that she will see as she get's her car fixed. Maybe someone needs a hug from her.  No matter what happens it works to her good and she has favor.

I am at a point in my life where I don't want to fret about a thing. I want to just rest in the fact that God loves me and want's to take care of me. I am going to let Him. Nobody loves me or can take care of me like He can. God gave me a wonderful husband that takes care of me but I will tell you nobody know's you like God.

So when you husband says to you where is the money coming from for this or that tell him its not our concern talk to God. God has it all in control. Let Him take control don't try to help Him. He knows what He is doing all on His own.

God loves me so very much and He loves you. When we really get that on the inside of us we will never be the same. That is my goal. To know His love and know He always has it all in control.
