We know, in fact, that God works all things together for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.
~ The apostle Paul (Romans 8:28)

“together with” = Sunergeó = synergy/synergism; to work with, together, and alongside; to partner

For we are God’s co-workers (sunergos).
~ The apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 3:9; 2 Corinthians 6:1)

Romans 8 describes a symphony of agony. Three Groanings:
1. All Creation (v 22)

Joseph and God's Alchemy...

Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.”
(Genesis 45:4-5)

“Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”
~ Joseph (Genesis 50:19-20)

Paul and God's Alchemy

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
~ The apostle Paul (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)

Jesus and God's Alchemy

This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.
~ The apostle Peter (Acts 2:23)

God will redeem rather than reject your suffering, even if its from self-inflicted wounds, to help you love others better and show Jesus to the world around you.

Talking about the grace, mercy, and peace of Jesus for those of us who need fresh starts and second chances (which is really all of us, but only some of us know it).
