Trust: Seeing God's Providence at Work

One question is never asked by Love, and that is "Why?" That word is used only by the three d's of doubt, deceit and the devil. The happiness of the garden of paradise, founded on trusting love, cracked under the satanic query: "Why has God commanded you?" To true love, each wish of the beloved is a dread command - the lover even wishes that the requests were multiplied, that there might be more frequent opportunities of service. Those who love God do not protest, whatever He may ask of them, nor doubt His kindness when He sends them difficult hours. A sick person takes medicine without asking the physician to justify its bitter taste, because the patient trusts the doctor's knowledge; so the soul that has sufficient faith accepts all the event of life as gifts of God, in the serene assurance that God knows best.
