(J.R. Miller, “Evening Thoughts” 1907)
“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose!” Romans 8:28
Our Christian faith may always say the same in any circumstances of affliction or trouble or sorrow. This is our Father’s world! Because God has all power and could save us from any sorrow or suffering if He wished. God is all-loving, and when He permits any trial to touch us, it is because it will be a blessing to us. He is all-wise and knows what is best for us.
We do not know what is best for us. Because we would make pitiful work of our life if, for even a single day, our affairs and experiences were left in our own hands! But in God’s hands, no mistake will ever be made. Whatever may come, therefore, we may say always, “It is well!“
“He has done all things well!” Mark 7:37

Something to ponder:
J.R. Miller: As the summer sunbeams enter into the flowers, and reappear in their lovely hues and sweet fragrance–so does Christ enter into the lives of His redeemed people, and permeate and transform them, until they become like Him in spirit, in character, in disposition, in every feature.
“Until Christ is formed in you.” Galatians 4:19
Therefore “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Colossians 1:27
