God gives us adversities and opportunities in life so we become stronger, wiser and humbler. He closes doors no man can open and He opens doors no man can close. Even if we do not need God to open some doors for us, let's pass it on and open our hearts to Him and to people around us, friends and foes alike.

God doesn't give us the people we want; He gives us the people we need... to help us, to hate us, to hurt us (Does it sound familiar?), to leave us, to love us and to make us into the person we were meant to be. Here's a wonderful story about an unbeliever king and his loyal and truly believer slave.

A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all circumstances, said: My king, do not be discouraged, because everything God does is perfect, 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 losing a finger.


We complain about the cross we bear, but we don't realize that God is preparing us for the dip in the road that God can see and we can not.

Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman said "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" of all these things. What God does is perfect. He is never wrong!"

Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave. Later, he left for another hunt and was captured by savages who made human sacrifices.

In the altar, ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages found that the victim had not one of his fingers, so he was released. According to them, it was not so complete to be offered to the gods.


We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking, only to learn that it is God who is shaking them.

Upon his return to the palace, he authorized the release of his slave  whom he received very affectionately. "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?"

"My King, if I had gone with you in this hunt, I would have been sacrificed for you, because I have no missing finger, therefore, remember everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong."

Often we complain about life, and negative things that happen to us, forgetting that nothing is random and that everything has a purpose.

god is good iconEvery 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!

You know why this message is for you? I do not know, but God knows, because he never makes mistakes....... The path of God and his word is perfect, without impurities. He is the way of all those who trust in Him, as he says in 2 Samuel 22: 31.

What you do with this message is up to you. May God put in your heart the desire to share it with someone. God knows why He chooses you. Bless someone with it. God is never wrong.
