Search for "Why God Gave Us Problems"


Very simple story but very profound message.
Very but very a group of alumni highly established in their careers got together to visit their old university lecturer. conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. offering his guests coffee the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain plastic glass some plainlooking and some expensive and exquisite telling them to help themselves to hot coffee. when all the students had a cup of coffee in hand the lecturer said: "if you noticed all the nicelooking expensive cups were taken up leaving behind the plain and cheap ones."while it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves that is the source of your problems and stress" what all of you really wanted was coffee not the cup but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other s cups." "now if life is coffee then the jobs money and position in society are the cups. they are just tools to hold and contain life but the quality of life doesn t change. sometimes by concentrating only on the cup we fail to enjoy the coffee in it" so don t let the cups drive you... enjoy the coffee instead. when i asked god for strength he gave me difficult situations to face when i asked god for brain & brown he gave me puzzles in life to solve when i asked god for happiness he showed me some unhappy people when i asked god for wealth he showed me how to work hard when i asked god for favors he showed me opportunities to work hard when i asked god for peace he showed me how to help others god gave me nothing i wanted he gave me everything i needed
Why women cry - gif download
A little boy asked his mother "why are you crying?" "because i m a woman" she told him. "i don t understand" he said. his mom just hugged him and said "and you never will." later the little boy asked his father "why does mother seem to cry for no reason?" "all women cry for no reason" was all his dad could say. the little boy grew up and became a man still wondering why women cry. finally he put in a call to god. when god got on the phone he asked "god why do women cry so easily?" god said: "when i made the woman she had to be special. i made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world yet gentle enough to give comfort. i gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. i gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. i gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances even when her child has hurt her very badly. i gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. i gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly. and finally i gave her a tear to shed. this is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed." "you see my son" said god "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair. the beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes because that is the doorway to her heart the place where love resides."
Today i decided to quit my life
Today i decided to quit... i quit my job my relationship my spirituality... i wanted to quit my life. i went to the woods to have one last talk with god. i said. "can you give me one good reason not to quit?" his answer surprised me... "look around" god said. "do you see the fern and the bamboo?" "yes" i replied. "when i planted the fern and the bamboo seeds i took very good care of them. i gave them light. i gave them water. the fern quickly grew from the earth. its brilliant green covered the floor. yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. but i did not quit on the bamboo. in the second year the fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. and again nothing came from the bamboo seed. but i did not quit on the bamboo." god said. "in year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. but i would not quit. in year four again there was nothing from the bamboo see. i would not quit." god said. "then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant... but just 6months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. it had spent the five years growing roots. those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. i would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle." god said to me. "did you know that all this time you have been struggling you have actually been growing roots?" "i would not quit on the bamboo. i will never quit on you." "don t compare yourself to others." god said. "the bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. yet they both make the forest beautiful." "your time will come" god said to me. "you will rise high" "how high should i rise?" i asked. "how high will the bamboo rise?" god asked in return. "as high as it can?" i questioned "yes." god said "give me glory by rising as high as you can." i left the forest and bring back this story. i hope these words can help you see that god will never give up on you. god will never give up on you "life is not a problem to be solved but a gift to be enjoyed"

Short story - worth reading
Once there was a small kid on earth. one fine day it came to know that god is distributing apples to humans in his place at heaven. the kid was so happy to receive that news and it went with lot of enjoyment to heaven to get the apple from god. there was a big queue standing to get apple from god and this kid also joined in that queue. while it was standing it was fully excited and thrilled for the fact that it is going to receive in person from god s hands. its turn too came and the kid showed its both the hands to receive apple. god gave the apple but unfortunately the tiny hands couldn t hold that big apple. apple fell down and got wasted in mud. the kid got so disappointed. the ministers near the god informed that if the kid likes to have an apple from god again then it has to again follow the queue. having waited for so long the kid didn t want to return back to earth with empty hands so it decided to wait again in the queue. this time the queue has become even longer than the previous one. while waiting in queue the kid could see lot of people who returns back with apple in hands and utmost satisfaction on their faces. the kid was so much disappointed and thought why me alone didn t get the apple in hand when all others were easily able to get it. what is the sin i did that i alone should suffer like this. now the kid was so scared that it should not miss the apple again. again its turn came and god gave the apple to the kid s hands and after giving the apple god spoke to the kid. "my dear child last time after giving you the apple only i noticed the apple i gave to you was a rotten apple and that s why i made that to fell down from your hands. having given you a rotten apple i felt bad for you and i wanted to give you the best apple in the farm and that time the best apple in the farm was growing and that s why i made you to wait such a long time in the queue. here it is. now the apple that you have in hand is 'the best' apple in the farm till to date. enjoy." so friends sometimes it happens as even after we put our 100 dedication and commitment things may get delayed or things may go wrong. believe that god has something great for us and that s why this has happened. always say 'gratitude is absolutely the best way to bring more in one s life'. believe this and see the world... your world will also look green..
God always answers prayer..!!!
