As an oyster, instead of ejecting a detested irritant, transforms it into an exquisite pearl, the infinitely good Lord suffers acts that disgust him and, in staggering patience and breath-taking genius, fashions them into love-filled masterpieces of divine beauty. We end up so awestruck by the finished masterpiece that it is hard to realize that the initial elements were not acts of God but satanically-inspired manifestations that crushed Gods heart and repulsed him. We must recognize the process, lest in our confusion we defame our Lord by supposing he instigated things that were utterly contrary to the perfection of his love and goodness. On the other extreme, evil is so obvious early on, that one can mistakenly suppose the good Lord is nowhere to be found. Faith in Gods goodness is the one thing that will save us from the danger of seeing only the obvious and being thrown by circumstances.
