God never makes mistakes

I will be more willing to be proud of my weaknesses so that the power of Christ rests on me. 2 Corinthians 12: 9

God is particularly close to us when we lie on a sick bed. God will make the bed soft and refresh it with his presence and tender care. It makes the bed comfortable and wipes away our tears. He serves us with particular tenderness at that time and reveals his great love for us. Tell me why the gardener prunes and prunes his roses, sometimes cutting productive branches, and I will tell you why the people of God are afflicted. God's hand never slips. He is never wrong. Each of its movements is for our own good and for our ultimate good. It must often distort us and mutilate our own image. Deformation sometimes precedes conformity.

Prayer for the day

When the times of tribulation come, help me, Lord, to glorify them for your sake.
