Moment of Reflection 30th June 2013 Margaret Coles

鈥淚 saw in truth that God does all things, however small they may be. And I saw that nothing happens by chance, but by the far-sighted wisdom of God. If it seems like chance to us, it is because we are blind and blinkered.

The things planned before the world began come upon us suddenly, so that in our blindness we say that they are chance. But God knows better. Constantly and lovingly he brings all that happens to its best end.

All that is done is well done, for it is done by God.

He did not say 鈥淵ou shall not be tempest-tossed, you shall not be work-weary, you shall not be discomforted鈥. But he said 鈥淵ou shall not be overcome.鈥

God wants us to heed these words so that we shall always be strong in trust, both in sorrow and in joy.鈥
