8 signs a woman is protected by God from evil people – Bishop Robert Barron

Life often brings you matters that are difficult to swallow, like a
sickness, a job loss, or the death of a friend or family member. Those
pills are bitter going down, and we often choke on them.
But you can rest assured that God is up to something good in your life,
even if you can’t see it. God actively works to bring good out of
whatever happens in or around you. To hold on to hope amid
tough times, you’ll need to grab hold of this truth
The Bible says it this way. “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).
The Bible doesn’t say every event in your life will be good. You and
I both know that’s just not true. But it says that when you put your
whole life together, every piece works for good. It’s like
making a cake. You may not like the taste of each ingredient, but when
it’s all put together, you can’t resist it. God wants to bake a delicious cake with your life and use even the distasteful and
bitter elements to do it.
God doesn’t promise that everything will work out like you want it
to or that every story will have a happy ending. The reality is that not
every business decision will make you a million dollars. Not every
couple that gets married will live happily ever after. Not every child will
become captain of the football team.
Instead, the verse reminds us that we can have absolute confidence
that the Master Designer of the universe “causes everything to work
together for the good of those who love God.” (Notice that this promise
is for “those who love God,” not for people who don’t know God yet.)
Hope isn’t the same as optimism. It isn’t the belief that something bad
will turn out well. It’s the absolute confidence that every part of your life
will make sense, regardless of eternity. of how it turns out this side of
From our vantage point, life looks like a mess at times. But God’s view
from heaven isn’t the same as ours.
You can’t even imagine the good that God has in store for your future
God promises, “| have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will
give you hope and a good future” (Jeremiah 29:11).
Your future is in God’s hands, and there’s no better place for it.
