Lets relate our experiences. Has anything ever happened to you. and you thought it should not have happened? And later you realised that God used what seemed to be a negative that time to advance your life?
Can I tell you a story that my mom used to relate to people? Although I was still very young, I would listen. I think I still have all the story.
There was once a young man who worked at a mine his name was John. He liked to quote Rom 8:28, everything that would happen to him he would just quote this verse, Rm 8:28, everything works together for good. This ultimately became his name. Every body at work called him with the name everything works together for good. One day during lunchtime, all the workers come out from underground for lunch. As they were about to sit down to eat, a dog snatched Johns plastic bag that had his lunch box, John ran after the dog, to take back his lunch box but in vain! He kept on chasing the dog. At the back his friends were laughing at him, saying hmmm . Everything works together for good, John kept on chasing the dog until he was very far, the dog was tired and he was exhausted too. Finally he caught the dog and took back his lunch box. But he was only left with five minutes to go back to lunch. And that time he is very far from his place of work. Obviously he will be very late at work. Even his friends by this time were going back to work
On his way back, from pursuing the dog, John heard a noise, big noise, dynamite like blast. And another one. He kept on walking back. When he reached his workplace, he found that the mine had covered everyone who was underground. And for him a dog that snatched his lunch box had saved him. So Rom 8:28 applied to John. Beyond any doubt, All things had worked together for good!
This might be an amusing story. But I really do believe that all things do work together for good to those who love Him and those called according to His purpose!
God bless!
