I once saw a church that was really no more than a ceiling—here it was canvas, there it was metal. The people told me that once they had a beautiful brick church, but they were in a country where Christianity was not allowed, and someone burned down the church.
I told them that I was so sorry they had lost their building, but they smiled. “God does not make mistakes. Some time ago,” they said, “there was an earthquake on a Sunday morning. A thousand people were under this ceiling. Had we been in a brick building, many would have been injured, but this ceiling just quaked along with the earthquake, and no one was hurt.”
We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
O Lord, thank You that Your side of the embroidery of our life is always perfect. That is such a comfort when our side is sometimes so mixed up.
