Reason For Everything

Everything happens for a reason.  Whoever said that?  Did you ever make that empathetic offering to a person in pain.  Would you preach that message in New Orleans or Pakistan?  I would say that some things happen for a reason.  There is absolutely no reason for other things that happen.

Take the classic, oft quoted verse in Genesis.  Joseph says to his brothers.  You meant it for evil . . . God meant it for good.
