If you’ve ever been low on lotion, you know the lengths you’ll go to get the last little bit out of the bottle. You jerk the bottle as if your life depends on it. Perhaps you even turn the bottle upside down and drum on it like bongos to get the final drop.
Just as you’re determined to get the lotion out of the bottle, God is determined to get some good out of everything you go through. God is determined to get purpose of the pain, meaning out of the mess, and good out of the bad.
