He always has a purpose

Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. (1 Corinthians 13:12 NLT)

 A deadly coalmine explosion in northern England left scores of miners trapped underground, beyond help. The large crowd that gathered at the mouth of the mine included many relatives of the dead and dying miners.
 “It is very difficult for us to understand why God should let such an awful tragedy happen,” said Doctor Handley Moule, a clergyman who was asked to speak to the crowd. “I have at home an old bookmark given me by my mother. It is woven in silk, and when I look at the wrong side of it, I see nothing but a tangled mass of threads. It looks like a big mistake! One would think that whoever made it didn’t know what she was doing. But when I turn it over and look at the right side, I see there, beautifully embroidered, the message, ‘God is love!’ We are looking at this tragedy from the wrong side. Someday we shall view it from another standpoint, and we shall understand.”
 God’s Word promises that He always has a purpose and a plan in everything that comes into the lives of those who love Him. However, sometimes, “His ways are past finding out,” and we have to trust that whatever we don’t understand now, we will understand later.
If you are going through a difficult time at the moment, may you feel God’s love surround and protect you until He brings you out of it. —Ronan Keane [1]

 God will not permit any troubles to come upon us unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty. ―Peter Marshall
