I learned that not even a leaf falls from a tree with divine permission. This means that God has control of all, including over evil.
This, understanding that all tests should make us better and sincerely, I think that the test is a special instrument in which we should avail ourselves to be better.
In truth, it is not very important to me to discover if what tests me, now, comes from God or not. I understand that whatever my problems and my pains will not make me a better person, they are only raising and lowering the meaning of my life.
with prayer and care,
your brother,
