God Makes No Mistakes`

A song that has often ministered to my heart during difficult times is one that was written by Ron Hamilton, a man who lost an eye because of cancer. Was it a mistake that he lost his sight as a young man? What has come of it?  

I think the same of Joni. Was it a mistake that she had her accident and lost the use of her legs and arms? What has come of it?  

What about me? Is it a mistake that God has put in my life this battle with  cancer? What will come of it?

Hm-m-m.

-------------------------------

Here are the words of the song that has often ministered to me. I have again been thinking of it and humming it. 

God never moves without purpose or plan

When trying His servant and molding a man.

Give thanks to the LORD though your testing seems long;

In darkness He giveth a song.

I could not see through the shadows ahead;

So I looked at the cross of my Savior instead.

I bowed to the will of the Master that day;

Then peace came and tears fled away.

Now I can see testing comes from above;

God strengthens His children and purges in love.

My Father knows best, and I trust in His care;

Through purging more fruit I will bear.

O Rejoice in the LORD

He makes no mistakes,

He knoweth the end of each path that I take,

For when I am tried

And purified,

I shall come forth as gold.
