When only three, Louis Braille was cutting leather in his father’s harness shop. The knife slipped and his world went black.

Such blindness in one so young seemed a senseless tragedy. However, because of his blindness, Braille perfected a way for the blind to read with their fingers rather than with their eyes. A serendipity, the gift of finding valuable things not sought for.

A Chinese proverb puts it this way, “A diamond cannot be polished without friction nor man perfected without trials.” The Apostle Paul wrote, “Trouble produces endurance, endurance produces character and character produces hope.” (Moffatt Translation).

Think about it this way. Sometimes the smallest deed will open the biggest door, or shut out the biggest opportunity.

A prayer you pray, a curse you utter, a church service you fail to attend, a sacrifice you make, a selfishness you practice…nothing stops just where you leave it…all kinds of things are added or subtracted in life by what you do or leave undone. All kind of things.

There is an old saying which reads, “You must search to find, but not necessarily to find what you are searching for.” You see, there is always that dichotomy between our wishes and God’s will - what we think is best and what happens when we have prayed “Thy will be done.”

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose. (Rom 8:28)
