GOOD THINGS

Pastor Eduardo Alves was in a blessed service today at Minisyerios Adoracion church:

Good things
Hebrews 12: 2 2 looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Are you going through a difficult time? Maybe he just lost his job, or is he? Suffering for a loss in your family? Or maybe you just are not sure something good can happen in your life.
Whatever you're going through, I want you to know that you're not alone! And something good can come out of the difficult situation you are in. God has promised.
Jesus also experienced hard times ... the way to the cross was not of little importance, but He had to decide to cross that path. He even asked God if this was really necessary. (But we know how this wonderful love story ends.)
In our daily lives, we have to believe that when we go through difficult times, the result will be good. But when we are suffering, probably one of the most difficult things for us to remember is that God is going to solve it for our good.
The Only One You Can Trust
Romans 8:28 And we know that to those who love God all things work together for good, that is, those who are called according to their purpose is a key scripture for Christians when we go through difficult or disappointing moments . When something does not happen the way we would like it to happen, we can believe that God will solve it for good. To that place you can always return in all kinds of tests.
Now, this does not mean that the tests are necessarily good, but God can make them work for our good because He is awesome.
It's really comforting to believe that things will work out for good ... Even on a day like Good Friday when nothing made sense and everything was difficult, God solved everything for good, bringing the greatest blessing that humanity has received!
We can believe that Friday was good for the result he brought, not because of what happened at the time.
God is a wonderful being! To be able to take the bad things and use them for our good!
I have gone through a very difficult time, I have looked back and I think I would not be even half the person I am now if that had not happened. Many of us have not experienced this? Would not we like to grow alone in good times?
But it seems that we only really grow in difficult times. I believe it is because it is in those moments that we really come to God in our relationship with Him on a deeper level. Why? Because we have to do it. It is our only option if we want to overcome the difficulty. When we trust in God, He will give us the peace of knowing that He can make bad things work for our good.
Philippians 4:13 13 I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me.
