"Yes. But don't you want very much to get well?"
"Dear child, do you think if it were good for me to get well God would permit me to lie here? 'They that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.'"
"I cannot understand," with a deep sigh and a puzzled expression.
"No, we cannot understand, but we can believe. 'We walk by faith, not by sight,' Saint Paul tells us. That is the first lesson God's children have to learn, little Stella. You know He told His disciples, 'What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter.' That is what we must have faith to believe."
"It is very difficult!"
"No, not really. You believe my husband would do his best for the good of our children, do you not?"
"Oh, yes, of course!"
"Why of course, little one?"
"Because he loves them, aunt."
"And for that reason, because He loves us, our Heavenly Father gives us, His children, what is good for us. If you can believe in the love of God you can trust your life to Him, and pray the perfect prayer, 'Thy will be done.'"
