Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase. Have a FAITH-filled day! The Apple… Once there was a small boy on earth. One day the boy got the news that God is distributing apples to people in his place at heaven.
The boy was happy with the news and went with lot of excitement to heaven to get the apple from God.
There was a big queue to get an apple from God and this boy also joined that queue.
The boy was standing, with full excitement and thrill for the fact that he is going to receive something precious in person from God's own hands. After a long wait finally when his turn had come. he opened both his hands to receive the apple.
God gently gave the apple to the boy, but unfortunately the tiny hands couldn't hold that big apple. The apple fell down and got wasted in the mud.
The boy was very disappointed.
The ministers near God informed him that if he wanted to have another apple from God he would need to go back again & join the queue.
Having waited for so long the boy didn't want to return back to earth with empty hands so he decided to wait again in the queue.
This time the queue has become even longer than the previous one. While waiting in the queue, the boy could see a lot of people who returned back with an apple in their hands and with utmost satisfaction on their faces.
The boy was so disappointed and thought to himself, "why me alone. Why is it that only I didn't get the apple in my hand, when all the others were easily able to get it."
"What is the sin I did that I alone should suffer like this. Now the boy was so scared that he should not miss the apple again. Again his turn came and God placed the apple gently in the boy's hands and after giving the apple God spoke to the boy.
"My dear child, last time only after giving you the apple, I noticed that the apple I gave you was a rotten apple and that's why I made it fall 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 your hand is 'The Best' apple in the farm till 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 in store for us.
Read & Reflect: "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope." – Jer 29:11 Remember: God always gives the best to those who leave the choice to Him!
Trust Him today!
