Ever been in the middle of a struggle? A time in your life when nothing seems to be going right? When the bills are about due and you have no money to pay them? When your child is sick and you have no idea how to help him? When it seems like no matter how hard you try, nothing seems to turn the situation around?

We have all been there in one form or another.

And in those times, it doesn't matter to me how I arrived in that situation. It doesn't matter to me why I am there.

I am a bottomline person. I am the type of person who skips to the end of the book to make sure everything turns out okay.

I am that way in a struggle, or trial, I just want to be assured that everything is going to be okay.

"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." (Romans 8:28 NLT).

Romans 8:28 reminds me that no matter what I am going through, no matter what I am dealing with, God will somehow turn it around for good.

According to this scripture, He will cause everything to work together for good.

Now does that mean that a child dying is for our good? No. Does it mean that God brings bad things into our lives because it is for our good? No.

This means that though bad things happen in our lives, God will use those experiences to catapult us to our purpose.

He will give us a message out of our mess.

Like Joyce Meyer and Paula White, who both suffered sexual abuse as children, if you will let God, He will work on your behalf.

He will turn your life around. He will use you to be an inspiration to others who are struggling. God will use you to reach others who would otherwise never hear the Gospel.

So, chin up, child of God, your best days are yet to come.
