It’s been a long time since I’ve last heard of the verse:
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28, NIV)
This WAS my life verse. Every time I was asked the question “What is your life verse?” I would recite Romans 8:28 without second thoughts. How can I possibly forget? This was the verse that helped me get through tough times ever since I became a Christian. Yet, amidst the storms in my life now, I forgot. What a shame to forget such powerful and comforting words. Thank you to my friend Jared who reminded me of this through a text message. Now, I remember. This was the verse I held on to when my heart shattered coz the one I thought I ‘love’ found someone else; when I wasn’t able to pass my midterm exam on time coz I was too engrossed with Christmas vacation; when university days were so toxic and hell week was coming. I REMEMBER. Romans 8:28 helped me get through the persecution of being with the family of God; strengthened me in times that I was too weak to wipe my tears and pick myself up; made me smile for being a fool of falling for someone over and over again. NOW, I REMEMBER. God has the best in mind for me.
Dry your tears. Get up. Take that step. Smile. Wait upon God’s BEST.
