Special Reports

For the performance concert after the Washington, D. C. retreat, we were assigned to the worst seats on the furthest side on the upper floor of Constitution Hall. Looking down from our seats, we could see both the front and back of the stage, while a huge screen placed right in the middle blocked our view. Feeling upset about this situation, we were about to complain when suddenly we remembered the story that Master had told us during the four-day retreat about the old man who had lost his horse. She said that if we could think from a different point of view, the situation would change and that we should always remember that God has a purpose in everything Hes arranges for us. Besides, even if it is bad for us, it might be good for others. As our thinking changed, our complaints also evaporated.

Soon after that, a member of the working staff led all the people in our section, row by row, in an orderly way to the empty seats downstairs. We were given VIP seats in the front, and Master was sitting right behind us. Normally, we could never get such good seats even if we fought for them. So, God did not waste any time in testing us on what Master had just taught us during the retreat!
