“All Things Working Together For Us”
 

all things work for good

by Dona Hake

 

 

 

Romans 8:28 (VOICE)
“We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to

work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan.”

 

As we believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ He invites us to live according to His plan for our lives.  When we lay down our own ways and thoughts about things, that is when God is able to work us through the good and the bad.   There are four words to this scripture though that are the key and the secret to God working freely in our lives.  Those words are “when we love Him.”  As we love the Lord with all of our heart and soul, it is then that He is able to orchestrate everything in our lives to work for the good!

 

 

Loving God should be our lifestyle.  As a believer, loving Him should come as natural as breathing to us.  We should not have to think about it for the more we know Him and His ways, we should be overwhelmed at His love for us.  Loving Him should be a part of every detail of our lives.  Looking to Him should not just be when we are in trouble but we need to be looking to Him when every thing is perfect as well.  It is as we have a burning love within our hearts for Him that we will see how He will beautifully weave a tapestry of many wondrous things in your life.  God desires that His love be shown to a dark world.  As we love Him and walk in His presence, His joy will overflow for all to see.

 

“A joyful heart is the inevitable result

of a heart burning with love.

Mother Teresa 
 
Lord, we ask that you deepen our revelation of loving You with all of our heart.    As our heart burns for You, we thank You that are are able to work on our behalf and cause all things to work together for Your plans and purposes! Amen
