and just one more thought...

Postsecret postcard that just spoke to me today:


sometimes i think ppl overuse the concept of "God's plan" (myself included, but i'm trying not to do this anymore).  what makes us think God PLANNED for someone to be born w/o hands, or for a child to die?  why would we WANT to think that?  Romans 8 says, "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."


but i don't think that means He plans for bad things to happen to us!  it just means that when the bad things DO happen, He works them out to a good result.  


anyway.  i just wanted to share.  


thanks.  later.
