“We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called
according to His purpose.” ROMANS 8:28
Do you really trust God? Do you believe that all things work for good? Faith is a
challenge for everyone at times. Putting our trust in God, in everything we do, means
that God’s plan for our lives may be different than our plan. When one door closes,
another one opens. Trust in God, His plan is always better.
