Henry was going through a rough phase of his life. His wife had left him and his business was going in loss. He had locked himself within four walls of his room. He would wake up late in the morning, smoke cigarettes and sleep the rest of the day. All his friends were enjoying their lives and were making efforts to realize their dreams. Henry’s mother was worried about the health of her son. She would try to motivate him but he was lost in his own world.
One day his mother went to his room and asked him to accompany her to the church. In church, Henry saw an old preacher who was telling everyone that God alone could end their sufferings and lead them forward on path of success. Henry thought that preacher could suggest him a way out. When everyone left, Henry went to preacher and told him about his problems. When Henry asked him to suggest a solution, the preacher whispered something in his ears that was barely audible to him. He went a step closer and asked the preacher to repeat his words.
The preacher again said something in his ears but it still was not audible to Henry. He came even closer. The preacher bent his head forward and said, “His ways are really strange. At times, He only gives you an indication. He whispers and you must get a step close to him so that you can get a solution to your problem.”Now Henry clearly heard him and knew that every single word he said made a sense.
It happens with almost everyone of use at a point of time. No doubt, life is cruel at times. However, when you are surrounded by troubles, you must know that God wants you to get close to him so that he can suggest a way out of your trouble.
