One statement by Naaman's slave girl in 2 Kings 5:3 hints at a complex backstory. What was her motive? Self? Pride? Love?

Evidently Naaman was a good man, loved by kings and slaves alike. Yet he had no knowledge of the God of Abraham. Even so, God loved Naaman, the enemy of Israel. He knew the man's heart and revealed to him His own in turn.

Sometimes bad things happen to good people so that they will know even better things. #tazria
