Afflicted but still Predestined!

Even though we suffer many afflictions, this does not negate our purpose that was predestined even before we were born. God has a plan for our lives, and it is greater than anything we could even encounter. The mere fact that God has promised that "all things" would work out for our good (Romans 8:28) tells us that even our afflictions have to align with his purpose for our lives. For there is nothing that we will go through that will not grow us into the purpose He has for our lives. So be encouraged and know that God's plan is perfect, and His promises are permanent! Your greater is coming...just you wait and see!
