From the book The Art of Happiness:
"Imagine that God appeared before you this instant and said:
"I promise you that everything that happens to you from this moment forward will be of the greatest benefit to you and will bring you the utmost good fortune."
Suppose God went on to say:
"Even though what happens will sometimes appear unfortunate or hurtful, in the end your life will be wonderfully blessed and hugely benefited by whatever happens." "
I spend a couple of hours this Sunday reading this wonderful book. This passage appeared on page 7 and I could not get it out of my mind for the rest of the day. In my opinion it is very powerful. For me these statements were easy to accept but I believe that for others they could be very difficult.
I sat there and thought through many events in my life and saw the fingerprints of God all over them. I saw this statement with clarity. Easily I can chart the valleys and peaks of my life and see that the low points were used as preparation for the peak to be made possible. I urge you to get a piece of paper and from your birth(+10 very positive) to a major problem(-10 very negative) list the major events in your life. Next I urge you to create a graph .
Today's question is:
"Did you see for yourself the fingerprints of God?"
