In our life, a lot of event happens. Sad, happy, dull, awkward, you name it, and I believe we all have experienced it and guess what, none of these just happens!
Many have heard of the phrase "everything happens for a reason" which in my opinion, is very true.
Let me tell you a short story.
One day, a king and his servant was out hunting. This king's name was Juan and the servant was Pedro. Juan and Pedro, despite of status, are really good friends.
Juan was having so much fun hunting in the jungle and Juan asked Pedro to reload the gun. While Pedro was reloading the gun, accidentally Pedro dropped the gun and shot Juan's index finger off!
"OUCH!" screamed Juan!
"I am so sorry, I did not mean to. The gun accidentally dropped and shot off by itself" cried Pedro.
"For that, you are going to jail and never coming out!" shouted Juan.
And it happened, Pedro was sent to jail for shooting off the kings finger.
The king however continued with his hunting, as he goes deeper in the jungle, he was not aware that he entered a land full of cannibals!
He was captured! Put into a net, hanged to a tree and he was ready to be cooked inside a big pot full of boiling water!
He shouted "HELP!" but no one would hear.
Juan thought that it was his time to go. One of the cannibals noticed that Juan was missing his index finger, this cannibal then reported this to the tribe leader and when the tribe leader heard of this, he was outrageous!
He quickly ordered that Juan be freed and be left alone! Fortunately this tribe of cannibals believe that if you have lost a body part, you are not worthy as it would mean that somebody already tried to eat you and was not good!
Juan quickly ran back to his castle to thank Pedro! Pedro was stunned on why Juan was thanking him.
"I was captured by a group of cannibals, if you haven't shot my finger on accident, I would have been dead by now!" said Juan.
"Oh I see, so I thank you too!" said Pedro.
"Why?" asked Juan.
"If you have not put me in jail, then I would have been left alone in the jungle, captured by the cannibals, dead and eaten by those cannibals."
Friends, whatever you are going through right now, it did not just happen. Right now you may not understand why this is happening but later you will.
All the hardships, problems, struggles that we are into right now is not a coincidence, it is a temporary setback for a great comeback! Trust God in this!
God bless you!
Cheers!
