A King had a male servant who, in all
circumstances always said to
him;My king, do not be discouraged because everything God does is
perfect,no mistakes. One day, they went hunting and a wild animal
attacked the king,the servant managed to kill the animal but
couldn't
prevent his majesty from losing a finger. Furious and without showing
gratitude,the King said;if God was good,I would not have been attacked
and lost one finger.
The servant replied;Despite all these things,I
can only tell you that God is good and everything He does is perfect,He
is never wrong.Outraged by the response,the king ordered the arrest of
his servant. Later, he left for another hunt and was captured by savages
who use human beings for
sacrifice.
In the altar, the savages
found out that the king didn't had one finger in place, he was released
because he was considered not"complete"to be offered to the gods.
On
his return to the palace, he authorized the release of his servant and
said; My friend, God was really good to me. I was almost killed 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?. He replied; My king, if Ihad gone with you,
I would have been sacrificed because
I have no missing finger. Everything God does is perfect, He is never wrong.
Often
we complain about life,and the negative things that happen to us,
forgetting that nothing is random, and that everything has a purpose.
