| WHY ME? I asked God why I wasn't rich. And He showed me a man with the wealth of a thousand kings, who was lonely, and had no one to share it with. I asked God why I wasn't beautiful. And He showed me a woman more beautiful than any other, who was ugly because of her vanity. I asked God why he'd allowed me to become old. And He showed me a boy of 16, who lay dead at the scene of a car accident. I asked God why I didn't have a bigger house. And He showed me a family of six, who'd just been evicted from their tiny shack, and were forced to live on the street. I asked God why I had to work. And He showed me a man who couldn't find a decent job, because he'd never learned to read. I asked God why I wasn't more popular. And He showed me a socialite with a thousand friends, who all left the moment the money and parties were no longer there. I asked God why I wasn't smarter. And He showed me a natural born genius, who was serving life in prison for making ill use of his knowledge. I asked God why He put up with a thankless sinner like me. And He showed me His Bible, and His Son who took my place at the judgment. And I knew then how much He loved me. What's eating you today? Are your problems weighing heavy on your heart? Know, then, that you are loved. And have a WONDERFUL day! Then brighten someone else's day, in any way you care to. Remember, a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle. Just reach out and touch someone's life and brighten up their day. |
