Did you know that everything that happens to you can be for good?

Publication date: February 18, 2026

Romans 8:28

📖 “We know that God causes all things to work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.” — Romans 8:28 (NLT)

🟡 What does this mean?

This verse tells us that God can use any situation, good or bad, for our benefit. Sometimes we don’t understand why certain things happen, but if we love God and follow His path, He turns them into opportunities to teach us, strengthen us, and draw us closer to Him. Nothing escapes His hands, and He always has a perfect plan for us.

🧠 Let's think for a moment

Have you ever had a day that seemed bad but then ended up being good? That’s how God works: even in difficult moments, He is working for our good. He sees our whole life, not just what we experience today, and knows exactly what we need to fulfill His purpose.

🙌 What can we do today?

✅ Trust that God is in control of everything

✅ Give thanks, even in difficult situations

✅ Ask God to show us what He wants to teach us

✅ Remember that everything, absolutely everything, is in His hands

💬 Phrase to remember

👉 God uses everything for my good because He loves me.

🙏 Final prayer

Lord, thank You for taking care of me at all times. Even though I don’t always understand what is happening, I know You have a good plan for me. Help me to trust You and to love You more each day. Thank You for turning everything into a blessing in my life. Amen. 🙏
