God is Working for Your Good
God is Working for Your Good

Romans 8:28-29
Sometimes life feels confusing or hard. Things happen that we don’t understand, and it’s easy to feel discouraged. But in Romans 8:28-29, God tells us of something very important: He is always working for our good.
Verse 28 says that “in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.” No matter what you’re going through—whether it’s a problem at work, a health issue, or a difficult relationship—God is using it to help you grow. He’s turning even sad or painful moments into something good in the long run.
Verse 29 tells us that God’s main goal is to make us more like Jesus. He’s shaping us to reflect His love, kindness, and patience. Every experience, good or bad, is part of His plan to transform us into the people He created us to be.
So how can we apply this to our own lives today? When life feels tough, remember that God is in control. Trust that He sees the bigger picture and is working everything out for your good. Keep loving God and stay close to Jesus, because that’s what God is using to make you more like Him.
Let’s choose to believe that God’s plan is better than ours and that He is always working for our best. Keep hope alive, and keep trusting in His love!
