  A ship sank into the sea. The only survivor was washed up to a small island. He prayed to God to save him, but nothing happened. He was tired, and at last he decided to build a little house out of wood. But then one day, when he got back, he found his little house was on fire,. The worst had happened-everything was lost. He was very angry. He cried, "God! How could you do this to me!"
  Early the next day, however, he was woken up by the sound of a ship that was coming to the island. It had come to save him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the man. "We saw your smoke," they replied.
  You may feel you are unlucky when things are going bad. But you shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in your lives, even when we are suffering. When you think something is negative, God must have a positive answer to it.
  You say, "Nobody really loves me."
  God says, "I love you."
  You say, "I can't do it."
  God says, "You can do all things."
  You say, "I can't forgive myself."
  God says, "I forgive you."
  Then where is God? He is in your heart. He is always there, giving you His comfort, whenever you turn to Him.
