Let God Prevail: The Parable of the Chinese Farmer and the Eternal Perspective of Faith

"Maybe."

In that one word, echoed in the parable of The Chinese Farmer, lies the key to spiritual maturity, divine trust, and the eternal perspective God calls us to embrace.

This video is a deeply symbolic reflection inspired by President Russell M. Nelson’s October 2020 invitation to "Let God Prevail," blending sacred teachings from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with timeless insights from ISKCON spirituality and wisdom of the Tao.

Through commentary, storytelling, and scripture, we explore:

🔹 Why adversity is not a sign of divine neglect
🔹 What it means to see God's hand in all things—even in droughts, floods, and broken plans
🔹 How the Spirit teaches across faiths and cultures
🔹 Why eternal truths are universally manifest
🔹 And how trials shape us into spiritual masterpieces

This is a message for seekers of all backgrounds—those who question, who wrestle with God, who want to understand why pain exists, and who long to see the bigger picture behind divine providence.

💡 "Everything is a gift. God doesn’t make mistakes. He never forgets the faithful."
