In India, it is common for parents to find wife/husband for their children. However I was amazed when I learnt that my male Indian colleague saw his wife to be after both parents' consent. During that time, he heard the voice of his-wife-to for the first time. Thereafter he could speak personally with his-wife-to be via phone. It sounded ridiculous to be true. How a man could trust his parents so much on getting him a wife!
I asked myself if I could I trust a person so much. Sadly I can't even trust God sometimes. God who created heaven & earth. God knows me inside out. I felt guilty and asked God for forgiveness.
This verse encouraged me. Deuteronomy 31:8 says “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Finally I can say “in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?” [Psalm 56:11]
In Italian Felice Volta means Happy Time (Tempo). Psalm 139:23-24 "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
