God's delay is not denial

God's delay is not denial
(good story)
 
Once there was a small kid on earth.
One fine day it came to know that God was distributing apples to humans
in heaven.
The kid was happy to receive the news and it went with lot of enjoyment
to heaven to get the apple from God.
There was a big queue standing to get the apple from God and the
kid also joined this queue.


He was waiting, excited and thrilled at the fact that he was going
to receive the apple in person from God's hands. When his turn
came the kid raised both hands to receive the apple.
God gave the apple but unfortunately the tiny hands couldn't hold the big
apple. The Apple slipped out of his hands and fell in the mud.
The kid was very disappointed.
The ministers near God informed that if the kid wants to receive
an apple from God again then it has to wait in the queue once more.
Having waited so long the kid didn't want to return to earth empty
handed so he decided to wait in the queue,again.
This time the queue had become even longer than the previous one. While
waiting in the queue, the kid could see lot of people receiving apples
with great happiness on their faces.
The kid was disappointed and thought "why I alone couldn't hold
the apple while all others were able to do so easily?What sin
have I committed to suffer like this?"
Also he was scared that he
should not drop the apple again. When his turn came again God gave the
apple in his hands and said,
"My dear child, last time after giving you the apple I noticed
the apple I gave was rotten and that's why I made it
fall from your hands. Having given you a rotten apple, I felt bad for you
and I wanted to give you the best apple in Heaven. At that time the best
apple in the farm was growing and that's why I made you wait such
a long time in the queue. Here it is. Now the apple that you have in hand
is 'The Best' apple in the farm till date. Enjoy."
So, friends, sometimes it happens that even after we put our 100% dedication
and commitment things may get delayed or go wrong. Believe that God has
something better for us and that's why this has happened. Swami Vivekanada
says, 'Gratitude is absolutely the best attitude at all times in one's
life'.
Believe this and view the world... Your world will also look green..
