The almighty gives you several chances to get closer to HIM. But very rarely do we realize that these were chances. When a sad feeling embrace us, we get disturbed. And the thought that often lingers in our mind is, "Oh why did HE do this to me. The lord doesn't love me at all. That's why he gives me so much of pain." Rarely do we understand that this was a chance, a golden opportunity to get more closer to him.
I remember hearing a story at a chapel when I was studying in the 12th standard. A story that really touched my heart. It goes like this... "A rope stays in between you and God, one end held by you and the other end by God. A rope that goes into two pieces when you get hurt, or is terribly disturbed. You loose hope and curse the holy father for putting you in such a situation. But the moment you realize that you have no one else other than your holy father, the next thing you do is to tie the rope firmly and tightly to get in connection with the Lord. You would be crying out to the Lord to help you. In due course of time, you will feel happy and you find yourself smiling. The crux of the story come now. After having tied your two pieces of rope, have you realized one thing? You got closer to God. Each time you do that, you get nearer to HIM. And at the end, there wouldnt be a gap between the two of you. Thats the time when the holy father will embrace you. And keeps you in HIS arms thereafter."
I'm really happy for the bad days that HE gives me. It is definitely an opportunity for me to get closer to HIM. And I dont curse the sadness or lonliness that fills me now. I know, this is a golden opportunity and he will embrace me and take me in HIS arms very soon.
