God has poor memory

God sticky note

God is very busy these days. When the festive season comes he has to be busy(The only time when everyone remembers his existence). Right from a kid aged six years to an old person aged sixty years is asking for something. A gift which will make him happy. God never likes to see his children’s unhappy. So to fulfill their wishes he tries his best. He never fulfills all the wishes but the ones which will really make him happy.

This tidy schedule often makes him forget things. Then we say god didn’t listen to me. He didn’t fulfill my wish. It also gets converted into, I hate god or I don’t believe in god. In our office we have a board where we pin some notes. We call them stickies. God has also followed the same idea. Look at the picture. He pinned a note on Earth.

His To-do list contains “Prove Existence”. Some posts back I talked about this. In today’s world of science, we hardly believe in god. He doesn’t exists as he cannot be seen. Now you have a question in your mind. Why god wants to prove his existence? Let him be an invisible personality (Is god a person??). I have no interest whether he exists or not.

There is a simple reason why god wants to prove his existence. You are walking down the road with pride. You never look down or back. Just forward as it symbolizes progress for you. Suddenly you slip and fall. You just stepped on a banana peel. Curse the road cleaner and the monkey who ate that banana. When you fall, everyone around you probably starts laughing at you. You are alone and no one is with you. At that time god is with you, if you believe him.

If you have belief then you’ll laugh at yourself, take that moment on lighter side and continue walking. That is the strength god can give. And that is why he wants to prove his existence. He wants everyone to believe, there is someone behind who cares for you. That feeling itself is relief from any pain. Just start believing in him and feel the difference.

There was a time when I also didn’t believed his existence. Then some strange incidents started happening with me. Things which I never thought would happen with me. It’s not just coincidence. Coincidence can happen once or twice, not every time. Just start looking at small things that happen in your life. He is always there and exists.

Till you see the invisible…

Poor People

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”
“It was great, Dad.”
“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked.
“Oh yeah,” said the son.
“So, tell me, what you learned from the trip?” asked the father.

The son answered:
“I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night…
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them.”

The boy’s father was speechless.
Then his son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.”

It all depends on how we look at things. There is always some positive in the negative. We have to find it and realize it. That can make a huge difference in our lives. It takes some effort to do it. But it’s worth.
