The focus is on \u201cGod causes everything to work together for the good\u201d. It is very reassuring to know that God can take any change in your life and bring good out of it. However, how we define good usually goes something like, &#8216;God has a better job for me, a better house, a better mate, etc.&#8217; This appeals to our own desires for what we think is best for our lives.<\/p><p>But read on. Verse 29 actually defines what the \u201cgood\u201d is; \u201cto become like his Son\u201d.\u00a0 God could change our circumstances, replacing our losses with something better, removing us from painful situations to a better one, etc&#8230; but God has a greater gift for us then bettering our circumstances. He desires to make us more like his Son.<\/p><p>Adam was created in the image of God. That image was marred by sin. Christ is the first human since Adam to fully reflect the image of God, the first born of a new humanity. In Christ we are now having the image of God restored in us, in part now, fully in eternity. What could possibly be a greater gift than to be like Jesus, to fully reflect the image of God which is inherent with us, waiting to be released in full.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-59d36a5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"59d36a5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d59ec24\" data-id=\"d59ec24\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f7e276 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3f7e276\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Does the following prayer express your desire, why or why not?<br \/><br \/><em>Thank you that you chose to love me, even though I never could have earned or deserved it.
