GOD IS ALWAYS GOOD

           One day a rich merchant was riding through a forest. He had with him a bag containing a large sum of money. It was evening. The weather was foul. The sky was cloudy: So he was in a hurry to go out of the forest. But as a heavy shower of rain came down, he had to halt for some time. He was drenched to the skin and began t grumble at the wet weather which had detained him on the way. Just then a robber appeared before the merchant with a gun or his shoulder. In a thunderous voice be ordered the merchant to give him the bag. But the merchant refused to part with it. The robber turned the trigger of his gun. But fortunately for the merchant, the jobber’s ‘gun did not go off, for the powder inside the gun had got wet in the rain.
“How lucky you are !” exclaimed the robber, “Rain has saved you today.” So saying he went into the woods.
The merchant then realized that God does everything for man’s welfare.
