The Preacher's Lesson
A preacher was walking through the desert and came across what appeared to be a magnificent garden. He thought it must have obviously been a mirage so he decided to get closer. When he got there he realised it was real. He approached the gardener’s shack because he wanted to let the gardener know who created this garden. He knocked on the door and gardener answered. The preacher said, “I just want to let you know that the LORD HAS DONE A GREAT JOB WITH YOUR GARDEN”. The gardener said, “I totally agree, if it wasn’t for the magic of the sun, the seed and the soil, I wouldn’t have a wonderful garden, but I’ve got to say, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT WHEN GOD HAD IT ALL BY HIMSELF”. The moral of the story: We may like to think that some higher power such as god will provide us with everything we need to excel in life. This is true but not in the sense that so many people believe. God, the universe or whatever you believe, will provide you with the resources and opportunities that you need in life, it’s up to you to mould them, use them and interpret the messages and opportunities that are presented to you. God will not do it all for you. That would defeat the purpose, God knows that you would not grown as a person that way.
