Better. ( Romans 8 v28 )

 Ecclesiastes 7 v 8 reads 'The end of a thing is better than its beginning', we can look at this in different ways, we see it in the lives of people in the Bible  like Joseph,think of all he suffered the hatred of his brothers ,being  sold into slavery ,falsely accused of rape,put into prison ,but in God's providence all that changed.Think about David and the trials he  had during King Sauls reign,but again in God's providence it all changed for the better.I know of people who had awful childhoods but again in the providence of God things are better now.Possible you are facing trials now but in God's providence things can change to a better ending.Let us look at another aspect of this verse ,as regards healing, now I speak as one who experienced the lost of my first wife from cancer ,she was a young woman in early 30s,I prayed she would be healed,but in God's will it didn't happen. It makes me very sad when I see these so called faith healers exploiting people financially,they give people false hope,they have a lot to answer for.Let me just say if it is God's will, healing will take place.Let me share a story,about a couple in  Uganda they came to the Kisiizi hospital,the woman looked thin and pale they had attended many other facilities,spending a lot of money with no improvement.She was examined and was told she had advanced cancer  and it was to late for surgery to help.The staff prayed for them and left them alone for a little while,when they returned  to their surprise they found them both smiling.'The couple told them  that nobody had told them the truth as regards her diagnosis,and they had lost their faith.but now they were at peace again ,and trusting in God, knowing that this life is not the end of the story.'
