John Stott on Providence Within Purpose - Anglican (Romans 8:28)

Source: John Stott52 words

"Romans 8:28 is not a promise that everything will be comfortable, but that everything serves a purpose. And that purpose is defined by the calling: to be conformed to Christ. God wastes nothing in the lives of those who love Him." — John Stott. Anglican balance: comfort is not promised; purpose is.
