  A Story Happened on An Uninhabited Island
  The only survivor 1 of a shipwreck 2 was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly 3 for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.
  Exhausted 4, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.
  The worst had happened; everything was lost.
  He was stunned 5 with grief and anger. "God how could you do this to me!" he cried.
  Early the next day, however, he was awakened 6 by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
  It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad.
  But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering.
  Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.
  For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has a positive answer for it .
