Arranged by
God’s will is always the best: it is always divine love. A stricken wife, standing beside the coffin of her noble husband, said to a friend: “There lies my husband, my only earthly support, my most faithful human friend, one who has never once failed me; but I must not forget that there lies also the will of God, and that that will is perfect love.”
She was right. It was only by faith that she saw the good and the blessedness in what appeared to her the wreck of all her happiness. But truly the good and the blessedness are in every dark providence which comes into the life of God’s child. We need to remember always that our Father never means us harm in anything he does or permits. His assurance is “I know the thoughts that I think toward you#thought of peace.” His will for us is always love, though it have the form of darkness and pain.
