Romans Chapter 8 cont'd
We are confident that God is weaving all things in life together, both the good and the bad, into a beautiful whole on behalf of those who love and trust him- for they have been apprehended for his transcendent purposes.

No doubt, the first part of this paragraph of Romans 8...verse 28...is the most famous verse from the chapter...at least in our generation. "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." This verse is so full of comforting reality that it simply leads me to childlike prayer.
Heavenly Father, you are truly amazing. You are so great and good and powerful. Were you really there peering in on my life before I knew you; already purposing to redeem both the providential gifts you gave me from my mother's womb and also my foolish choices along the way? Thank you for not being intimidated by my sins. Thank you for pursuing me and seeing beyond my resistance toward you. Thank you for being so creative and resourceful. Thank you for your love and ability to "cause" good to trump evil...you make light to shine out of the darkness. Thank you for your powerful hands that work and shape the clay of this earth into vessels that you can use for your noble purposes. Allow me to be one such instrument and do my part in your grand drama.
I do love you, Father...and your Son...and your Holy Spirit. Help me to love you more and more as the years progress.
