Romans 8:28 has been mistranslated. It should not be used as a platitude to mollify someone who is suffering.

Romans 8:28 should be rendered, "God works all things together with those who love him". N.T. Wright says Romans 8:28 has often been mistranslated. And it's silly to use it as a platitude to mollify those who are suffering.

We will all be judged for our deeds, so let us keep on planting seeds of truth.

Despite all the things which blight most of the seeds we plant, we keep on planting seeds. We will all be judged for our deeds, so let us keep on planting seeds even if the orchard never grows or produces any fruit that we can see.
