Reading: Romans 8:28-39
Reflective Thoughts
All things
Our relationship, from my childhood through adulthood, had been tenuous and tumultuous. Years of estrangement from my dad, followed by an illness that took away his mind made making peace with him seem impossible. But with God, all things are possible because God is the God of all things.
The last time I saw him, I knew it was the last. I kissed his forehead for the first time. I whispered to him, “Thank you for being my Dad. Jesus will use all that you were and all that you weren’t to make me into all He created me to be…because God is the God of all things.”
This is how He works all things together for our good-even when it still hurts. There is no thing that happens in life, not even death, that will separate you from God’s love. In fact, He will use all of your joys and all of your sorrows to make you better than if you had never gone through them. In all things you are more than a conqueror, because He is the God of all things.
