Blessings in Disguise

 "God can work ALL things together for good." Romans 8:28

We are so blessed in so many ways. Just think of all the ways we are blessed; whether it is a roof over your head, living in a country where we can express our beliefs freely or having people that really care for you. No matter who you are, YOU are blessed. Most of us know that we ARE blessed but sometimes we take these things for granted. But, have you ever thought about ways that God could be blessing you that you didn't think were blessings at the time? I like to call these 'Blessings in Disguise'!
When something happens in your life that you feel shouldn't be there or is hindering your walk with God you may think 'Why is God letting this happen to me? Doesn't he love me?'
And the answer is, if you trust God in this tragedy, He will bring you through it, and bless you in ways you can't even understand! God will always use the bad things that happen if your life for good.
God can use terrible circumstances for an awesome plan! Trust God at all times and know that He does not intend any harm on you.
You may even be SO shocked that God put you in that situation that you think you are not big enough to overcome it, but with His help you CAN overcome anything! If God is for us, no one can defeat us (Romans 8:31). 

And when you DO overcome the situation, which if you stay true to God you WILL, the results may be the opposite of what you wanted but they will be so rewarding that you would not want it any other way! 
God KNOWS what is best for you, and when you can't see that…He will show you, and you may not want to do it at the time but in the long run you will NEVER regret doing the right thing for Jesus!
