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
God has promised to work all things for our good, yet we often resist surrendering to Him. Instead, we cling to our own self-sufficiency, believing we can handle life on our own. This struggle reveals how difficult it can be to let go of pride and truly allow God to lead. Why do we resist so much? At its heart, the answer may be love.
Discovering God’s Will for Your Life
- If you are wondering what God’s will is, the answer is both simple and profound: love Him.
- If you are unsure how to respond in a certain situation, act in a way that shows love.
- If you have sinned and feel burdened with shame or guilt, return to Him and receive His forgiveness and love.
- When you do not know what to do, the answer remains the same: love.
The Call to Love God and Others
Loving God is central to our faith. When we love Him, we are simply giving back the love He continually pours out on us. It is an act of reflecting His nature, becoming more like who He created us to be. Loving God naturally flows into loving others, as His love shapes our hearts and actions.
Trusting God’s Good Plans
God wants what is best for us. His plans are filled with goodness, hope, and purpose. Because of His great love, we can place our trust in Him. Even when life feels uncertain, He is working out His perfect plan.
When we set aside pride and walk in love, we find the peace and assurance that God is guiding our steps. Trust Him—He will work it out.
2 thoughts on “I will work it out”
Yes. But how do I love my Father in Heaven? How do I love my Lord and Saviour Jesus? I have sinned, I repented and confessed and returned to Him.
1 John 4:19 says “We love because he first loved us.” Our Father has forgiven you, as you have come to Him and confessed. Your sins have been forgiven, now and forever. He is always willing to take us back. This is amazing and unconditional love on His part.
As you think about that kind of love, it will move your heart to begin to return that love. Jesus knows that we struggle, yet He can see our sincere heart. It may simply begin by you telling Him you love Him for what He has done for you, and desire to love Him more.
