“God indeed works in mysterious ways. That which we judge to be unfortunate and evil can teach us our greatest lessons. The thief who cons you out of your money could represent a divine lesson teaching you to let go and not be attached to your things. The drug pusher may be teaching you how to experience addiction and down-in-the-gutter depression so that you will transcend this reliance on external substances for your highs in life.
All people, and I do mean ALL, are in your life to teach you valuable lessons. Don’t ignore those lessons. Get the message and bless them, and move on. When you ignore them, or simply dismiss them as evil, you fail to understand the truth. Emerson knew: Truly, the “whole course of things goes to teach us faith.”
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, in “Your Sacred Self”
