God’s Love To Us Cannot

God Is At Work In All The Circumstances Of Your Life To Bring Out The Good For You, Even If You Had Never Heard Of Romans 8:28. His Work Is Not Dependent Upon Your Faith. But The Comfort And Joy That Statement Is Intended To Give You Is Dependent Upon Your Believing It, Upon Your Trusting In Him Who Is At Work, Even Though You Cannot See The Outcome Of That Work.

That Which Should Distinguish The Suffering Of Believers From Unbelievers Is The Confidence That Our Suffering Is Under The Control Of An All-powerful And All-loving God. Our Suffering Has Meaning And Purpose In God's Eternal Plan, And He Brings Or Allows To Come Into Our Lives Only That Which Is For His Glory And Our Good.

Every Day God Patiently Bears With Us, And Every Day We Are Tempted To Become Impatient With Our Friends, Neighbors, And Loved Ones. And Our Faults And Failures Before God Are So Much More Serious Than The Petty Actions Of Others That Tend To Irritate Us! God Calls Us To Graciously Bear With The Weaknesses Of Others, Tolerating Them And Forgiving Them Even As He Has Forgiven Us.

God Does Not Delight In Our Sufferings. He Brings Only That Which Is Necessary, But He Does Not Shrink From That Which Will Help Us Grow.

Uncontrolled Temper Is Soon Dissipated On Others. Resentment, Bitterness, And Self-pity Build Up Inside Our Hearts And Eat Away At Our Spiritual Lives Like A Slowly Spreading Cancer.
