“Thus, if we think we require some good thing that God has withheld from us, in reality we don’t absolutely need it. It also means that if we feel our life has been ruined by some bad thing, in reality it is playing some very important role in our lives. It is teaching us, molding us, enriching us, humbling us, and so on.” (Timothy Keller Romans 8-16)

So true ! We pray that we see that sooner rather than later.
Agreed! This is from our Romans study. It sure is teaching me that everything I’ve gone through and will go through in life (good or bad) serves one purpose; to make me more like Christ.
This deserves pondering.
I love the lesson and assurance in this quote!
