Everything Happens For a Reason...




Once upon a time, there was a King who loved to hunt.

One day whilst hunting, the king shot a wild leopard.

The king ran towards it to see if it was dead or not, when suddenly the nearly dead leopard jumped up and attacked the king.

The chief servant managed to kill the leopard but couldn’t prevent his majesty from losing a finger.

Furious, the king said his servant, “If God was good, I would not have been attacked and I certainly wouldn’t have lost a finger!”

The servant replied, “Despite all of these things, I can only tell you that God is great and everything happens is for good. Everything God does is perfect and He is never wrong.”

Outraged by his response, the king asked the servant, “If I put you in prison, would you still think that is best for you?”

The servant without fear, humbly replied, “Yes my Lord! I would still think that is the best arrangement for me.”

The now enraged king ordered that the servant be imprisoned at once.

Three months later, the king and another servant left for another hunt and were captured by tribe’s people who required a human sacrifice.

On the alter, the desperate king watched as his servant was killed in front of his eyes.

But, all of a sudden tribe’s people discovered that the king was missing a finger and so they released him.
They now considered him to be “incomplete” and so couldn’t be offered to their Gods.

On returning to his palace, the king authorized the release of his chief servant who was imprisoned.

He went to him and humbly said,” My friend, God was really good to me. I was almost killed, but due to my missing finger I was released.”

“However, I have a question?” the king continued, “If God is so good, why did He allowed me to put you in prison?”

The servant wisely replied, “My Lord, had I not been in prison I would have been with you and would have been sacrificed since I have no missing finger.”

The king laughed and said,” That’s correct! Everything does happen for a reason.”

Our lives are full of ups and down.

When things do not turn out how you want, do not lose your love for life, your faith or your belief in the future.

As long as we are good people, good things will one day follow.

Be calm, be patient and stay positive...

The hardship of today are preparing you for the light of tomorrow.

Fly High...

A crow holding a piece of meat in his beak was flying in the sky looking for a place to seat and eat it. Suddenly he saw a flock of eagles chasing him. Anxious to save his life the crow started flying higher and higher. Yet the eagles wouldn’t let go and kept chasing him. Seeing the plight of the crow, a bird a wise old owl sitting on a tall tree asked him, “What’s wrong with you my friend? You look very disturbed and why are you flying in such a state of panic?” The crow replied, “Look at these eagles! They are after my life. They want to kill me.” The wise owl said, “They are not after to kill you dear. All they want the piece of meat you are holding in your beak. Just drop it and see a magic.” The crow followed the advice of the owl. All the eagles flew towards the falling piece of meat and the crow could now fly higher. Isn’t this is true in our life as well? We hold on to the piece of meat. That money which is not ours and are always at...

GOD has its own plan...

When Mr. Clark a Scottish farmer heard that the luxury cruise liner Titanic was to make its very first voyage. Its maiden voyage from the United Kingdom to United States of America. He had a dream to be on the ship with his wife and his five children’s. He practically spent most of his life’s savings to buy tickets for his entire family; non – refundable tickets guess what? Just a week before the Titanic made its way to America, one of Mr. Clark’s son was bitten by a dog. The doctor recommended that the boy be quarantined for his own safety and for the others around him. Mrs Clark suggested that he and the other children actually make their way on the trip. But Mr. Clark’s conscience didn’t allow him to leave his fife and his ill son behind.

All his money was gone and none of the...
