God Meant It for Good - Phil Kendon
Our perspective and God’s are like the two sides of a tapestry. When you look at one side of the tapestry it is a beautiful picture crafted with creative excellence and where every thread is in the perfect place to portray the image the artist has in mind. The other side looks like a tangled mess. When something bad happens in our lives, we see this random thread that seems to have no purpose whatsoever - no contribution to a beautiful life, just chaos and disorder. But when you look at the picture from God’s perspective, he takes that thread and weaves it into the perfect place to fill out the picture he is making from your life. God is not the source of evil or suffering - but he is capable of taking those situations and making something beautiful out of them.

1 John 1:5 (NIV)
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
God is not the source of evil or suffering - but he is capable of taking those situations and making something beautiful out of them.
Romans 8:28 (NIV)
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.
Many things we don’t like are actually good for us.
- That we are useful in his service like Joseph
- That we come to know him like Naaman
- That our response to trials will inspire others
- That we develop character and endurance
- That our faith will be refined
Do you really believe that God meant it for good?
