Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Please Read !We blame God when things don't go in our favor. Please read this article which may help to change wrong views towards God work. Seeing things from where God is standing It is of paramount importance in spiritual life to see things from where God is standing. Most spiritual teachers say that, “We should not try to see God but act in a way that God can see us. So often we are in our own conception of the truth that we cannot see that God is playing a major roll in our progress especially since it is not always a comfortable ride, we sometimes experience humiliating challenges. There was once a lonely survivor of a shipwreck who was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions. One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger.†God, how could you do this to me?" “What have I done to deserve this?†he cried. Early the next day he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the Island . It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. “We saw your smoke signal," they replied. So it's easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives ... even in the midst of pain and suffering ... there's always a gift!So dear Sai brothers and sisters, don’t despair if the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. May be it is just smoke signals that summons the grace of God. Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile. Try it now.
