📖 “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)
Paul’s words are a promise rooted in divine sovereignty. “All things” includes every experience—both joyful and painful, both the blessings and the burdens. This verse doesn’t mean that everything that happens is good, but that God useseverything for good in the lives of those who love Him.
