[QUOTE="Monna, post: 72317944, member: 395087"] Romans 8:28 was a life-saver for me when I was 15 too. It was a time when things were dark, but there was light at the end of the tunnel, a brighter future beckoned if I could just get through that year. Then something happened that turned the light off, and opened a bottomless pit of terror in the tunnel. That verse came to me, straight from Jesus (not Paul) and turned things around. But even experiencing the peace of mind He gave me then, I made a huge mistake. Thinking that the verse applied to the specific incident and situation (which it definitely did) I missed the understanding that the promise of that verse was for my whole life! It took me 40 years and another tragedy on a huge scale to show me. What a waste! In the additional 14 years since that realisation came, this verse has been especially precious. But for all the 15 year olds out there, the verse is like a coin in God's treasury. The other side of the coin is in Psalm 84: 11 [I]No good thing does the Lord withhold from those who walk uprightly.[/I] On one side, nothing that happens cannot be made into something positive in your life; on the other you [B]never[/B] have to feel you will miss out on something good! [U][I][B]God intends and wishes nothing but good in your life![/B][/I][/U] [/QUOTE]
