Have you ever tried to do something good, and as you do something just totally bad happens? Well, I had just that happen to me yesterday. I had just finished in the bathroom, and after washing my hands and looking around, I had noticed there was a lot of trash all over the floor. I reasoned it would take me about thirty seconds maximum to clean it all up, and I would be able to do a great service for everyone else who used it. It worked great except for the fact that I like to keep the little white handbook for missionaries in my shirt pocket. So, as I was trying to reach and grab the trash which was right next to the toilet . . . plop. A chill shot through my back from hearing a little splash in the water.
I try and do something good, and it almost seems like I get punished. All of us here on earth have been given the ability to choose. We can choose good or we can choose evil. God wants us to use our ability of choice for good. It almost seems ironic sometimes when I choose to do good things and then bad things seem to come from it. It made me think about how from God’s perspective it might also seem that many of the things He has chosen to do have worked against Him. But a closer look helps us to see how He has used those things for good. We know one of the choices God has made is to give us our agency.
