“And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groaning too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
“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. For Whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become confirmed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren; and whom He predestined, these He also called and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.” Romans 8:26-30
“We remain ignorant of many details, not because God enjoys keeping us in the dark, but because we have not the facilities to absorb so much light. – Not until history has run its course will we understand how ‘all things work together for good.’*
The Bible tells us mysteries and like a child who can barely read, we sit in the Father’s lap and let Him show us through the Book, as we are ready for the lessons. We can always wiggle or rest in His loving arms and trust that if He loved us enough to sacrifice His own Son for us so we COULD rest in his care, we can be at peace in the midst of anything. It is our choice really, isn’t it?
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
