Ephesians 4:25²⁵Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another. (Ephesians 4:25)

“We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose” (Rom. 8:28²⁸And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)).

Every one of us is necessary to every one else. You say: That brother is so bad. But I say: He is necessary to you. You say: O, but he troubles me so much, there is this thing and that thing about him. Well, that is the very thing you need. Do you think there is a single thing that happens that is not necessary to us?

This world is God’s training ground, and God sees to it that there is everything to exercise us, and even to rub us up the wrong way, in order that He might have the opportunity to strengthen us and make us faithful.

“Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” (Rom. 12:1¹I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (Romans 12:1)).
