Romans 8:28 ~ And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:28

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

This Bible Verse would require us to believe a few unbelievable things. And yet, we believe in Heaven. We believe in the Goodness of God. We believe all things are possible with God.


We believe Father God searches hearts.

Jeremiah 17:10
"I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds."



Compare two different Biblical Chapters.

The Prodigal Son has disappointed his father. The son has shown to the community, he is a son asking the father to sell off inheritance and move away. The father doesn't hear from the son, probably, as the son squanders the inheritance put up for him. And at the end of the story, as we read the son has come to his senses, we see the Prodigal son's Father runs to him.

And usually, we all sincerely hope Father God would be this glad to see us as we enter His Kingdom through 12, always open, single pearl, Gates of Heaven.


And consider these thoughts.



Luke 23:42-43
42 And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 

43 And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

The thief
came to his senses
and was rewarded with Heaven
on the day of his death.

Revelation 6

10 And they cried out in a loud voice, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge those who live on the earth and avenge our blood?” 
11 Then each of them was given a white robe 
and told to rest a little while longer, 
until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers, were killed, just as they had been killed.




If we believe, as King Solomon wrote in the power of the Holy Spirit, God Himself is the Hand of Blessing and the Hand of Woe. Plans belongs to God, then  - this is important. If we are killed (hurt, have injustice, dismay) - we do not need to cry out for God to avenge us. We do not need to cry out for Justice to God.  If God would let martyrs rest. And keep the martyrs from entering His Heaven the first day of death and not see His Paradise - but a thief being killed by capital punishment enters - - - we should believe God is actively involved with the details of our life. And have some patience and honesty with God and allow God to be God.



What do we want to appear in Life? Love.
And this is what God is looking for in us as we present our souls - our life's work - to Him.

Seems to me we get a choice in how well our Father is going to receive us. The Prodigal's Father RAN to him.


What is God looking for? A Loving, obedient Will. David was particularly known to be obedient and grateful. And you add that up - - - you see a picture forming about a soul. Something God sees well.

Genuine Love.



Father God,

Thank God the Disciples were allowed to be themselves in their emotions to Jesus. And in following Jesus with awe and wonder, found You are Good.

We will be honest and genuine in our prayers. We will seek Your Blessings. Allowing You to be God. And believing in Your Love Goodness, Wisdom and Capabilities.

The Joy of the Lord be our Strength. And He will carry us far.

We expect Your Blessings and Love for our cares, our Loved ones, the people You have given us. And we will rest knowing how involved and loving are Your ways, Your plans, Your future and the Hope You give us in Jesus Christ. 
Amen.
