Worship team testimony, part 3

I recently started posting installments of a testimony that I wrote several months ago at the request of the worship team. Below is the third part. (You can also read the first and second parts.)

A second “trauma”: sovereign love

Another “trauma” I suffered that year: Our pastor preached on Romans 8:28-29, which reads, “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, in order that He might be the firstborn among many brothers.” That's when I saw that God controls every single molecule (Eph 1:11, 1 Corinthians 8:6)! He does this every minute and nanosecond! He does this and never sins! And He works all things for our good!

Thus, in every trouble I go through, I know that God is ultimately behind it, and He works all things for my good. It is never hopeless; it is bottomlessly optimistic, even in the worst tragedies.

The extent of God's control amazed me, and His love impresses me. It is very practical and hope-giving. These verses amazed me.
