“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 NIV)

           “In all things” this encompasses both the good, the bad, and the ugly experiences in our lives.  

           “Works together for good” God can and will take every situation and orchestrates the situation, even our hardships in life, to help, influences others, and show others a better way.  Often deepening our spiritual growth.

           “For those who love Him” This promise is specific to those who believe in our Lord, who have a relationship with God.

           “Called according to His purpose” God’s actions, always move, every situation to align with God’s purpose and plan.  For God always has a plan and a purpose for our lives.  Sometimes it is just harder for us to get to, because of our stubbornness.

           This scripture is often used to bring comfort during life’s difficulties, reminding us that God is working behind the scenes—turning a horrible situation into a life changing situation that can help not only you, but others as well.  It does not mean all things are good, but that God works all things for good. It is something for us to remember “God works for good in all things.” God Bless.  Amen.
