THERE IS A PURPOSE

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose". Romans 8:28. You must be kidding my Lord! REALLY!! Then, why is there so much strain, so much struggle, so much conflict, so much hell? Lord, I am frustrated and overwhelmed by these things I can't pray away, rebuke away, cast away, fast away, confess away, or speak away. Why? Huh, what did you say Lord? "There is a purpose?" - you are building a foundation of character in my life, which will enable me to obtain the success and blessing that is to be poured in to my life. What? You are teaching me how to trust you in my desert days so that when I enter into my promised land, I won't feel funny and threatened by the foes when they question my anointing? NOW I GET IT! There is a reason to my riddle: Clarity to my confusion, and calmness in my chaos. In another words "You are preheating my oven to bake a cake". OMG I can smell it now. I am getting ready!!!Bring it on!!
