And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
To be honest with you, that verse really got to me when I read it during this time. I had heard all of these scripture passages for a long time in the different churches I had been in over the years. But this one was special because it reminded me that no matter what I was or would go through, good or bad, all things would work out for my good.
This situation was no different. I had believed that I had been called by God at the age of 8. God had proved that to me over and over down through the years.
And look what verse 35 says in that chapter...
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Nothing and no one could separate me from Christ's love. Nothing. Not the leaders of any church. Not the fact that I wore glasses. The "distress" I was going through, was absurd if it was anything.
But it was because I was letting it by listening to the wrong message. Surely not the message of the cross. It was coming from the message of a man that had decided that wearing glasses was unacceptable under his teaching.
And the final 3 verses in that chapter made that just as clear:
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us I persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I had been learning a lot during this time spent with the Holy Spirit every morning. Was there more? I kept reading to find out.
