In what do you put your trust?

“All things work together for good”- what is your reaction to that sentence?

Probably you do not agree, because it seems to be impossible considering all the unpleasant things in life.

Yet, as a raw stone is treated toughly before becoming a precious stone, and since God knows everything in the past, present and future and has the best intentions to every human being, so we can know that in all pleasant and unpleasant things God works for our good, because he has a good long term plan for everyone individually.

All things work together for good for those who put trust in him.

To which influences do you plan to give priority?
