“Now I know brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel” Philippians 1:12.  What we thought was bad for us turned out to be for our good and even the advancement of the good news.  The Christ of Romans 8:28 does not control all things, but makes all things work for our good and His glory.  What I thought could not work out, He made it work out.  What I thought would be my undoing was my making.  What I feared to be my ruin was redeemed for higher purposes.  Do not give up!  He can make crushing stones to be stepping stones.  He is your Path in a pathless wilderness.
