God Is Good

A king, who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in
every and all circumstances, said: ³My king, do not be discouraged,
because everything God does is perfect, no mistakes!²

One day the king and his slave went hunting, and along the way a wild
animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the animal, but could not
prevent his majesty from losing a finger.

Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman
said "Is God good? If He was good, I would not have been attacked and lost my
finger."

The slave replied: "My king, despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is
good, and he knows "why" of all these things. What God does is perfect. He is
never wrong!"

Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave.

Later, he left for another hunt and was captured by savages who made
human sacrifices.

On the altar, ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages found that
the victim had not one of his fingers, so he was released. According to
them, he was not complete so he could not be offered to the gods.

Upon his return to the palace, he authorized the release of his slave,
then, he received him very affectionately.

"My dear servant, God was really good to me! I was almost killed by the
wild men, but for lack of a single finger, I was let go! But I have a
question: if God is so good, why did he allow me to put you in jail?"

"My King, if I had gone with you on this hunt, I would have been
sacrificed for you, because I have no missing finger; therefore remember,
everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong."

Often we complain about life, and negative things that happen to us,
forgetting that nothing is random and that everything has a purpose.

Every morning, offer your day to God, don't be in a rush.

Ask God to inspire your thoughts, guide your actions, and ease your
feelings.  And do not be afraid. God is never wrong!

You know why this message is for you? I do not know, but God knows,
because he never makes mistakes.......

The path of God and his word is perfect, without impurities. He is the
way of all those who trust in Him, as he says in 2 Samuel 22: 31

What you do with this message is up to you. May God put in your heart
the desire to send it to someone.  God knows why He chose you to receive
this message. Please, bless someone with it.
