There is an unemployed man that comes around to my house about once a month. Since i am at home doing my Masters work, i am invariably the one that answers the gate. Over the past 6 months or so, we have developed a sort of a relationship. I chat to him about where he stays, how he gets money etc. Every time we talk-he tells me how good God has been to him, and everytime he tells me of some other horrendous thing that has happened to him. From getting arrested for ‘loitering’ to having his socks stolen or being mugged and almost getting his finger bitten off…because he was holding on to his money so tight! This is not fair…However, I know that God is great and that this is well within his control and purposes…and i know that one day in eternity i will marvel at how good God has been throughout history.
One day this will all be over…and what a glorious day that will be-when people like my friend are clothed forever in the righteousness of Christ…and no longer need to grovel for some change…because they will be eternally blessed with every imaginable blessing…
Praise God
