What is your worst experience in 2021

It happen on Saturday 3rd of July I was in my room with a friend and one of my neighbor we were having a very interesting conversation then along the line a question popped out, I never knew the question will pop up in future where as my answer to that question will determine weather I have faith in God.

So, the question was is God always good?

Well I responded to that question that day by saying that God is good all the time because that is his nature and his goodness is not based on how perfect we are,  his goodness is not based on our works, God is good because that is his nature.

I Remember saying that it is impossible for God to do evil because it is against His nature.

The next day 4th of July I went out in the evening around 5pm there about to the market with one of my neighbors, we went to get some items when we received a call, the call was from one our co-tenant, and on the phone, the person said we should come home immediately because there is a fire in our house, we never knew it was something big, but then we left what we were doing immediately and we rushed to the house.

As I stood afar, behold, the site  in front of me smoke going up in the air, I saw a lot of people with bucket who had come help to quench

the fire. The words that kept ringing in my head was the same question that was asked a day before

Is God always good that question came to my mind and even though I was still trying to figure out what was going on, even though I was still trying to comprehend the site I was looking at

I made a conscious effort to keep saying it in my mind and keep saying it out loud that God is good because at that point I felt like my faith was being tested would I say that God is not good again because of what is currently happening to me?

or is God still good despite what I am going through?

Now while I was there feeling bad about the incidence, I was looking into my room thinking of how to start over, I saw how much my neighbors properties was burnt to ashes and I had a reason to be grateful. Now my self and my other neighbors that were affected by the accident had to sleep in a school class room for some days before the roof of the house was fixed upon you can imagine that experience.

after that incidence the desire I always had to leave that house grew stronger I began to feel so uncomfortable and I was believing God so much for a miracle, I just want to get out of that house.

I knew I couldn't afford to rent a new house at the time but I trusted God for a miracle, it was a very trying times for me now all people were saying to me at the time was same thing that was so common in Yoruba dialect it is translated to English as:

The king house that got burnt only adds to its beauty

I believe in that word, I trusted God and the month after a miracle happened, I move into a better place.

In what ever you are going through, don't loose hope always have faith don't just have faith and sit down, apply works to your faith and things will begin to turn out well.

That experience did not only hep me to change my environment but it also helped me to change my perception about so many things.

There is something positive, In every negative experience
