All Things Work Together for Good of Those Who Love the Lord



By Teboho Masakala

We lose our loved ones to death, we get into different trials beyond our control, we cry too much thinking that God doesn’t care about us or has forgotten about us, do not despair as all things work together for good of those who love the Lord. (Romans 8:28)

God sometimes let us go through trials so that He can strengthen us, not because He wants to hurt us but because he has something good planned for us. Something that He knows it is going to help us and he knows that without passing through trials we won’t achieve what He has planned for us as He has good things planned for us.

God can also take a friend, boyfriend or girlfriend away from us and make them to separate from us, not because he doesn’t want us to be loved but because he knows that you wont have time to focus on him as you will be worrying and stressing about your boyfriend, friend or girlfriend but when God takes them away by means of separation or them going to stay in another place, it gives us chance to focus on God.
God only wants good for us, sometimes He wants us all to himself but because something’s are a distraction in our lives, he takes them away so that the joy, success and breakthrough he want us to have can be complete. 

All God does is to benefit us and not to harm us. It is for our own good, it is for our own benefit but we need God to open our spiritual eyes so that we can see that ‘’All things work together for good of those who love the Lord”.

If you love God, you know that all he does is good and has a purpose for our lives, a good purpose, a good plan for us, God said to Jeremiah “for I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you”.


So everything God does is because He loves us as he called us according to his purpose and if you love the Lord you will understand that when you go through hard times, God is with you and hasn’t forgotten about you but is working something good for you. Something that will bring Glory and honour to him.

“Before you were born I knew you and knit you together in your mother’s womb” God said to Jeremiah, showing that God knew us even before he planned creation!

Never for a second, hour or moment think that God has left you or doesn’t care about what you going through. God knows and is with you every second, day, hour or minute. He is preparing you, he is preparing something good for you as you love him and are called according to his purpose. 

Ask God to open your eyes so that you can see that “All Things Work Together For Good Of Those Who Love The Lord And Are Called According To His Purpose”

To God be The Glory
