Good Works


Have you done good works today? Have you loved God? If not, that just may be what’s wrong with your day.

Yesterday I had a phone conversation with someone that really made me dwell on Romans 8:28. The conversation was about the needs of our kids and it made me feel like when we work together, good things happen. Sometimes it seems so simple…what we get…when we all work together…and it is all so good. So why do so many people fight it? They spin their wheels in their daily lives, they are not productive or producing good in themselves or for others and they don’t see all God has to offer them. They don’t see the promise. I prayed to God for this person and others, that even when they can’t find Him or love Him, that He not give upon them or finding a way to break through to them and keep trying to call them according to His purpose. I want the best for my kids and I need to remember to teach them the greatest way to succeed in life is to love God and live like Him, despite the spinning of others who could do more. Hence, the purpose, things will then turn out all good for those who love God.

Dear God,

Thank you for calling me according to your purpose. Help me teach it to others. May I remember that I will have the benefits of your good works every day when I simply remember to love You.
