Page 82 - Seeing Good in All

CONCLUSION

Believers live in wholehearted submission to God, aware
that everything, in its minutest detail, is created by God and
predetermined by Him according to a certain plan. Although
believers may encounter all sorts of hardships and trials
throughout their lives, they never feel regret and say, "I
wished this did not happen to me…" They believe that a
divine purpose and good is to be found in every event.
Therefore, even in the most distressing circumstances, they
live with peace of mind. However, disbelievers, who are
unaware of this truth, feel great anxiety whenever they are
confronted by an event which to them seems evil.
Hopelessness and despair pervades their lives. The fact is,
however, due to his nature, man is constantly seeking peace
and comfort, because of the physical and spiritual pains that
difficulty, stress and sorrow cause him. But, the sorrow, stress
and despair, which a person who does not put his trust in
God or see the good in whatever befalls him is subjected to,
encroaches upon him from all around. He can never manage
to free himself from fear of future, fear of death, disease, or
fear of poverty.
