Romans 8:28
We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
Are we living according to our purpose or God’s purpose? Discerning this is a moment-by-moment process of opening ourselves to our Loving Creator’s will. Ask yourself: Am I loving God with all my heart, mind, soul and strength? Do I love my neighbor (everyone!) as myself? None of us do this perfectly. It is in our imperfection that God does the most glorious work of all…gently loving us in our weaknesses so as to transform us into being the same unconditional, compassionate lovers to the world. Jesus gave us the perfect model to follow. He loved when He was hated. He showed the unconditional Love of God when hanging on the cross when He forgave His persecutors…even when they had not asked for forgiveness! Jesus showed us that if we follow Him…God would turn all the grief, struggles and pain into the glory of resurrection and New Life!
