God's plans are for Hope and NOT disaster: learning to trust that

Today it's raining, and I was thinking when I heard the rain on the roof, just how much I like the rain.

not so much for the cold wet feeling you get if you go out into the rain....more like the reminding that God shelters us from the storms of life (hence the roof) but sometimes He does allow us to feel the rain at times, but not to bring us down, we experience problems and storms in life into order to bring us into a deeper and closer relationship with Him and to make us stronger and get us ready for His blessing.

we may not know what the outcome can be, but we can trust that God knows, and we can also trust in His promise:

"And we Know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them" Romans 8:28

we can KNOW for a fact that God works ALL things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. that is probably one of my favorite promises from God, because it reminds me that no matter what I have gone through and no matter what I'm going through now, God will work it all out for Good, we may not be able to see how or when but we can rest and trust in the promise that HE WILL.

It took me the longest time to realize this and actually get to the point in my life that I rest in this promise and meditate on this. because when bad things would happen I would wonder why would God allow this, and I had people of other faiths come to me and ask where was god when this thing happened to you....it caused me to lose my faith for a bit....but God started to remind me that He will work it out, all I need to do is TRUST Him, 

"For I know the Plans I have for you, says the LORD, They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

here we see another promise, God already knows the plans He has for us, they are GOOD plans to give you hope, these two promises go together, God already knows the plans He has for us and He will work EVERYTHING for good....so if you'r going through some of life's storms, Have faith, because God is right there carrying your through, He has a plan through all this and it WILL work for good.

With Love,
