There’s always something good!

A couple of weeks ago, I was introduced to a young lady - just married and already asking for a divorce. Her reasons were complex and the colors of love had not even touched the pathetic picture that she painted of her life. After a few sessions with her, I came to the conclusion that her cure lay in living with her husband alone (she lives with her in-laws now) and getting to know him for who he is. My reasoning was simple – how can a man be all-bad and not have a single good quality?

After a busy day at work followed by a long phone conversation with the lady in question, I silently groaned out to God saying “Was there a chance this lady could start her married life all over again?” The next day dashed any hope I had – her husband had left her! He’d just packed his bags and walked away. I could see all my hopes for her come crashing down. All I could say then was “God knows.” It sounded so bleak to me too. A couple of days later, I received a happy call from the same girl - the husband had come back. There had been a family conference where it had been unanimously decided that this lady would now live alone with her husband! His mother graciously gave this suggestion and blessed them saying, “Learn to love one another.”

Well, that was a miracle that stunned me! When all hope had gone, not only did a glimmer of light appear but a whole rainbow! Of course, I’m elated that miracles still form a core part of human lives!
