I've asked myself, on occasion, why God would allow certain things to
happen to us, or our loved ones. Things like "Why did I have to
lose part of my finger when it was smashed off in 1969, and when I was
only 18 years old?" "Why did I have to hit a deer only two months
after buying the first new car I've ever owned?" "Why did two
nieces have to die when only a few months old, and a nephew at birth?"
These three questions have gone through my mind because they have
been quite real in my life. Maybe the contents of this manuscript
can answer some of these questions for us.
But first, consider that your life is a picture puzzle and that each
hour of your life is a single piece of this huge puzzle. As each
hour passes, that new piece is tossed onto the table with the rest of
the pieces. None of the pieces make any sense in themselves, but
if you could put all the pieces together, you would see the beauty of
the whole of the picture. You would then see, and understand, why
all those hard to accept things have happened. All things, even
those which look so horrible and are so difficult to accept, work together
with other situations for God's ultimate will and good for those of us
who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
We don't always understand why certain situations are as they are, but
God does. He can see the puzzle as it will be when it is finished.
All the pieces are there for a purpose.
We can truly be happy and joyous in even the toughest times when we realize
that God has everything in control (James 1:2-4,12).
In reading this booklet, you will see how the protecting and healing
power of God was around me and others, and how He has provided for every
need of my family and those of others (Matthew 6:25-33).
**In the entirety of this booklet, I
have not unintentionally used poor
Grammar for the names for satan by
capitalizing his names, but I refuse to
give him any more credit than he deserves.
