God Does Not Make Mistakes
A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all circumstances would always say "my king, do not be discouraged, because everything God does is perfect. He makes no mistakes!"
One day they 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, in the process.
Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman asked "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 these things happened. What God does is perfect. He is never wrong.!"
Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave.
Later, the King left for another hunt, this time alone. He was captured, this time however, by savages who engaged in human sacrifices.
On the altar and ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages discovered that their victim did not have one of his fingers. According to them, only a whole person with all his/her body intact could be offered to their gods. The King, without a finger, was deemed an abominable sacrifice. So they released the King.
Upon his return to the palace, the King authorized the release of his slave. He received the slave affectionately.
He asked his slave, "my dear, 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?"
The slave answered, "My King, if I had gone with you on this hunt, I would have been sacrificed instead because I have no missing finger. Remember, everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong. He made you keep me in jail so I would not be with you on the hunt."
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.!

I do not know, but God knows, because He never makes mistakes...
