A characteristic of one who has faith is that he sees reasons for much of what happens, good and bad. Now, it may be that we are likely wrong, but I think it might do us good to see things in this way, rather than deciding there is no cause for whatever befalls us. In seeing such meaning, there is to our lives so much the more purpose, and with such a sense of purpose, one might find the ability to withstand a harsher world than without. And when I say that we are probably “wrong” about the why, I should perhaps say, “off”. Sometimes, the general idea, the gist of the underlying reason, perhaps we do get it, after all. In understanding there is a purpose, how blessed is the worst of days, how so do we glimpse a plan in the randomness. Amazing grace.
