He Always There

One time, about a couple of years ago, Billy Graham had a dark period in his life. Although he had prayed to God about what he experienced, but he felt the sky like a copper for him. God seems to have disappeared from his life and he was alone with the trials and burdens.

Billy Graham ended up writing a letter to his mother about the experience. A few days later, he received a letter from her mother whose content is as follows: "Son, there comes a time when God pulled Him to test your faith. He wants you to trust Him in the darkness. Now, reach in faith through the fog and you will find that His hand was there. "

Finished reading the letter from her mother, suddenly tears came to eyes Billy Graham. Kneeling beside the bed, he started to cry and the abundant presence of God in an instant he felt. That day was a day that he had never forgotten to this day.

Whether we feel or not feel God's presence in our streets as dark, but still have faith that He was there. Do not doubt his word which he said, "I will not let thee and I will never forsake you" because that's the truth.

The Tree of Life

There's a wise man who has four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each take turns to go and see a large pear tree.

The first child to go in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and youngest son in the fall.

When they all leave and come back, he called them together to describe what they see.

The first child said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. In contrast to his brother, the second son said that the tree was covered with green buds and promise.

Another opinion of a third child. He said that pear tree laden with flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful. Last child did not agree with them all, he said the tree is ripe, full fruit, and full of life.

The man then explained to his children that none of their opinions are wrong, because they have seen the tree of life at different seasons.

He then went on to say, "You can not judge a tree of just one season, as well as with life. You can not say that life is so sad, or so heavy, because certainly at one time you definitely feel the happiness and joy. "

If you give up during the winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, and the fulfillment of your fall. Do not let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

Value of Life from Carrots, Eggs, and Coffee

One young man complained to his father about his life and ask why life is so hard for him. He does not know how to deal with it and almost gave up. He was tired to fight. It seems like every time an issue is complete, new problems arise.
His father, a chef, took him to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and put it on the fire.
Soon the pots came to boil. He put the carrots in the pan first, second and eggs in the pan he put ground coffee in the pot last. He let it boil without saying a word. The boy was silent and waited impatiently, wondering what he was doing his father. After 20 minutes, the father put the fire out.
He set aside a carrot and put it in a bowl, remove the egg and put it in another bowl, and pour coffee in another bowl.
Then he asked his son, "What do you see, son?" "Carrots, eggs, and coffee," he replied. His father brought him closer and asked him to feel the carrots. He did and noted that they were soft. His father then asked him to take egg and break it. After removing the skin, he found a hard-boiled eggs harden.
Finally, his father asked him to sip the coffee. He smiled when tasting coffee with a rich aroma. After that, the boy asked, "What does it mean, Dad?"
He explained that these objects had faced the same adversity, boiling process, but each reacted differently.
Carrots before boiling strong, hard and difficult to break. But after boiling, carrots become soft and tender. Egg had been fragile. Thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But after boiling in water, its inside became hardened. Coffee powder changes to a unique experience. Having been in the boiling water, they changed the water.
"
You're one of those which one??" Said his father. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee? "How about you? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength. "
"Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart? With a dynamic spirit, but after the death, heartbreak, divorce or dismissal of the heart become hardened and stiff. From the outside looks the same, but if you become bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and heart?. "
"Or like the coffee bean? Coffee grounds to change the hot water, something that causes pain, to reach it's maximum at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius. When the water reaches the temperature of the warmest, the coffee taste better and better. "
"If you like the coffee bean, when things get worse, you will be better and make things around you are also improving."
