A process of God at work in the Believer?
Romans 8:28 is one of those scriptures like John 3:16 is often quoted but little understood since mush of it is passed by in the saying?
God gives us a promise that those who mean bad for us, this could also mean other believers might actually turn out better for us and be more of a loss to them!
A good way of explaining this process, is say you wanted to leave where you where living but for another reason you could not do it yourself and your neighbours told lies to get you out thinking they were getting rid of a problem to their space? While you got moved on to something better that suited you much more than what you had been in and also the new resident that replaced you might turn out far worse for those who opposed you?
God does actually care about us and will not leave us in a place or situation that does not benefit Him!
Genesis 50:20, Acts 4:28, Romans 8:28.
