” We know that all things work together for good for those who love God…”
This is a very familiar and popular scripture, and I would like to share another translation I found that beautifully translates it…
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, when we purpose to love Him with all of our heart, that is when God is able to orchestrate every thing for His good on our behalf. There are four words to this scripture though that are the key and the secret to God working freely in our lives. Those key words are “when we love Him.”
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 our life. God desires that His love be shown to this dark world, and as we love Him and walk in His presence, His joy will overflow within us for all to see.
“A joyful heart is the inevitable result
of a heart burning with love.
Mother Teresa
