All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28
Did you know most Americans believe the saying “everything happens for a reason” is from the Bible? But it’s a misinterpretation of the verse written above from the Book of Romans, which actually means “bad things happen to everybody, but God’s people can find a way to turn it into something good.” So when someone I know is going through a really rough time and they say, “everything happens for a reason,” I feel obligated to gently correct them. “No, you did not get cancer ‘for a reason.’" “Your friend didn’t die ‘for a reason.’” This might sound weird, but the people of God don’t need to be happy and delusional all the time. But even in the middle of a crappy situation, we can eventually come around to finding peace. It can take a few days or even a few years. But in the end, we will be ok.
“Eventually you’ll end up where you need to be, with whom you’re meant to be with, and doing what you should be doing. Patience is the key.”
