He Will Work It Out.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
Ever wonder if things would work out. Ever wonder why it takes more effort to do things that you know are wrong?
Recently I sat and talked with the love of my life. I’ll admit, we’ve done some not right things. I haven’t been completely right before God. And it hurts not to be there. But my prayer has been that God take us in the right direction and prepare us to be the man and woman of God that he would have us to be, and that our relationship would reflect him.
Lately it seems that whenever we planned to do not right things, they would fail. Something would always come up to prevent us from seeing each other. Then one day we did see each other, and nothing wrong happened, and we enjoyed ourselves. And as we sat and talked on the steps of my house, she told me something that confirmed some things in my spirit. Yes, this is the one I have been praying for. This is the one I have poured of my self into and am seeing return.
As i sat there though, my flesh had been wondering why the “not right” plans would always fail while the good ones always succeeded. (JayT2, I might just have to get you for this) Up popped 828. Romans 8:28 that is. Things that we have to work on we are growing in. Thing we used to do we don’t do no more. We both are growing as individuals and as we grow separately, we grow stronger in our love for each other.
Prayer changes things. As my Chief Overseer Dr R.W. Fletcher has stated that “prayer is not a form, but a force” and that we all need to “know the use, not how to use it, but the use of prayer.” Problems have cropped up in this relationship at sundry times and divers manners, but I’ll never forget that I asked God if i should give up, or keep trying, though constantly being rejected. His answer, “Develop a love that lasts.” 3 years have passed since I met this woman of God and I’m still developing that love, like Jacob.
The results have not been immediate. I don’t expect them to be but like the scripture says, “all things work together for good…” Even though it may take some time. Haggai says that the glory of the latter house shall be greater than the former, but we learn from the Gospels that the latter house took 46 years to build. When Job was in the midst of test he said “all the days of my appointed time, I’m going to wait until my change comes.” Even if it takes some time. Jacob had to work 14 years for Rachel, so even if it takes some time, know this the ind will be better than the beginning for “we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
