Everything Happens For A Reason: Lessons From The King's Servant Story..
A King had a male servant who in all circumstances no matter how tough they were always told him; "My King, do not be discouraged because Everything happens for a reason ". One day they went hunting and a wild animal attacked the king, the servant managed to kill the animal but couldn't save his majesty from losing a finger.
Furious and without showing gratitude, the King said; "If God was good, I wouldn't have been attacked and lost a finger." The servant answered and said: "despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good and everything he does is perfect, he is never wrong.".
Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his servant. While he was taken to prison, he again said to the king: "Everything happens for a reason. God never makes mistakes".
Another fateful day, the king rose very early in the morning and went alone for another hunt and this time around, he was captured by a gang of savages who use human beings for sacrifice. On the altar, the savages discovered that the king did not have a finger in place, he was freed because he was not considered "complete" to be offered to the gods.
On his return to the palace, he ordered the release of his servant and said; "My friend, God was really good to me. I was almost killed but for lack of a single finger, I was let go".
"But I have a question" ; The servant replied, "ask my king". The king then said "If God is so good, why did he allow me put you in prison? His servant answered; My king, if I hadn't been put in prison, I would have gone with you, and I would have been sacrificed, because I don't have a missing finger".
Conclusion
Everything happens for a reason, and whatever God does is perfect, he is never wrong. Often we complain about life, and the negative things that happen to us, forgetting that everything happens for a purpose. God is good and perfect!!
My dear friend, a good attitude will determine your altitude. When you look at your life, your career, your work or your family life, what do you say? Do you praise God? Do you blame Satan?
A right attitude towards God moves him forward on your behalf. Sit down and say: Today, I'm grateful to have had a peaceful sleep, I'm grateful to be alive with possibilities, I'm happy to have a roof over me, I'm grateful to have a job, I'm grateful to have family and friends. Above all, I am grateful to have God in my life.
Be blessed and don't be envious or shocked when others prosper because you don't know what they went through to get there (trials and tribulations) so thank God for what you have.
"Little is a lot when God is in it"..
It's good with the grace of God. I know this message has touched someone's life. Have a Nice weekend.

I agree you brother. There's a purpose for everything that's happening to us. Although we don't know what that reason is, but we know that God's plan is much bigger than our plans. That said, we should fully trust him no matter what happens.
