"
Cornelli had really grown calm at the thought that there was One who
knew how it all was. When her trouble began to weigh upon her, she
could always say: "You know it all, dear Father in Heaven, You have
seen and heard everything."
"If He could only tell them! They would then know it, too. God could
easily do that," Cornelli said.
"Yes, but that is not the way things happen. We do not know better
than He what is good for us," Martha said, shaking her head quite
seriously. "If we could rule, everything would come wrong. We never
can see ahead of the hour and we never know what is good for us because
the next moment always brings something we did not know about. Otherwise
we would always be trying to undo what we have strained to do the day
before; we should only make ourselves miserable over and over again.
But if God ordains anything that we do not understand, we must believe
firmly that something good will come out of it. We must be patient,
and if our troubles are too heavy, we must console ourselves and think:
God knows what good will come from it.
