Our Desires versus Our Good

“Many things may be cross to our desires that are not cross to our good,” wrote Thomas Brooks. This is very difficult to remember! As Christians we know God has our good always at hand (Rom 8.28). We then have all kinds of desires each day as we live our lives. The problem comes when our deep desire to align with God’s desires crosses with our own desires. Many events in life may contradict our own desires, but God always has our good in mind! This is comforting.

He sent the Comforter because He needed Someone just like Him to be here for us. Another of the same kind as He. I sometimes imagine Jesus sitting right next to me and slipping his arm around my shoulder and saying, "it's okay, you're going to be alright, hang in there, I love you." Comforting.
