We know that all things work together for good for those who love God… – Romans 8:28, WEB-BE
Everything that happens in our lives happens for a purpose. We may not see it now. We may grow impatient when all that we can see are meaningless sufferings and barriers to our dreams. But if we truly believe in the God of infinite wisdom and love, we can also believe that He will never allow anything to happen if it isn’t for our good.
He uses every opportunity to draw us close to Him, to have us change our ways and see what is truly good for us. He guides us without end, purifying us, leading us to the home of His loving embrace.
Take heart! Things may not be within your control, but everything is always within the power of God.
If you embrace all things in this life as coming from the hands of God, and even embrace death to fulfill His holy will, assuredly you will die a saint. – St. Alphonsus Liguori
