Seasons

For the God of the universe to have thoughts and purposes for us also means that He'll be at work in us and around us to bring them to pass.

Do you know that God chose you before time? That all things are working together for your good. That when He says all things, that it means the good, the bad and the ugly? That your mistakes are included in "all things"? That your hurts and pain are part of "all things"?

Do you remember He said "when you pass through the waters, I'll be with you; .................... and when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned" Did you notice that it says "when"? Meaning you definitely will pass through the waters and walk through fire.

He will never lay on you a load too heavy for you to carry and He'll never put you in a river you can't cross. So, the next you are in that fix and you are feeling really sad, remember it's just for a season and for a reason.

Cheer up! In its time He makes all things beautiful.
