A Construction Supervisor from the 27th Floor of a Building was calling a worker on the ground floor but due to the noise at the site, the worker did not hear his Call.
To draw the attention of the worker, the Supervisor
threw 20 Dollar note in front of the worker. The worker picked up the note, put it in his pocket and continued to work. Again to draw the attention of the worker the Supervisor threw 100 Dollar note & the worker this time, quickly picked it and put in his pocket.
The third time, the Supervisor picked a small stone and threw it at the worker. The stone hit the worker on his head, this time the worker looked up and the Supervisor was now able to communicate with him. – Unknown Author
Now think for a Second… God is always looking for means to communicate with us, but we are too busy doing our daily jobs. Then, He gives us small gifts & big gifts just to get our attention but we just keep them and go about our business. Most times, we don’t even remember to say thank You God.
When we are hit with a small stone, which we call PROBLEMS, then we remember God. That’s when We look Up to pray and communicate with Him. So at times, hardship is good, it brings what really matters into perspective.
Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance.” – Romans 5:3 [AMP]
Hmmmm,God’s wanting to communicate wit His own simplified..
