| Can God work *everything* for good? |

8:28 And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, `even' to them that are called according to `his' purpose. I was reminded just how true that is today.
Consider this.... what good could come from the following situation....
I was married to a pastor for 17 years. Then, two years ago, he fell away from the Lord. For the past two years, we have been separated. He has had several girl friends during this time.
In June of this past year, I learned that his latest girlfriend attended the same large church that I was attending. Just knowing he had another girlfriend was painful - but then to find out that she was in my church -- it was really hard to deal with.
How could any good come from that situation? How could God turn that into good?
It was because of that situation that I came to Living Truth. Would I have ever come otherwise? Probably not -- I was perfectly content "hiding out" in this large church, I was just existing in that church -- not getting involved -- just taking up space.
God knew what was best for me. He used that horrible situation to bless me tremendously by bringing me to Living Truth. I am so amazed at God's ability to bless me through something so awful. I continue to be thankful that God led me to Living Truth. He truly can work everything for good.
