Everything that Happens, Happens for Good - Visitor's Inspiring Story

(India)

There was a King in a very wealthy kingdom. One day while the King was cutting an apple, he cut his hand and while getting treated for the wound one of his advisers walked in and the King said, "Look Minister, I cut my hand while trying to cut an apple." The Minister replied " My King, everything that happens, happens for good".

The King got very upset with the Minister's statement and said, "I am in in pain and you say it is for good."

He ordered that the Minister be sent to prison.

The next day, the King had gone hunting and while resting in the forest, he and his men were captured by the forest tribes and were about to be sacrificed. Just before the ceremony, one of the tribal priests realized that the King had a wound and was considered to be unclean and could not be sacrificed. He was let go.

The King on his way back to the kingdom had realized what the Minister had told him. Upon his return, he ordered the release of the Minister. The King apologized for his mistake.

In life when we see trouble, sorrow, failures, we often lose faith, but remember that God has a plan for everything, no matter what may be the problem always think, "Everything that happens, happens for good."
