THE KING AND THE GREEDY BEGGAR...INSPIRING STORY


PSALM 40 ; 04

BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO HAS MADE THE LORD HIS TRUST, WHO HAS NOT TURNED TO THE PROUD, NOR TO THOSE WHO LAPSE INTO FALSEHOOD!

VERY MOTIVATIONAL.


               Long time ago,  there lived a great king and two beggars who always stood at the gate of his palace everyday. As the king rode by everyday, the first beggar would say, blessed is he whom the king helps, while the second beggar say blessed is he whom the God helps.


              The king always felt pleased to hear the praise of the first beggar. One evening the king decided to reward the first beggar for all the praise; he ordered his baker to bake a cake and wrapped gold inside the cake.

              The next day he rode by, he gave the cake to the first beggar as he hailed him as usual. The first beggar who was in dire need of cash sold the cake to the second beggar at a cheap price, saying, it is money i need not food.

             When the second beggar cut open the bread he saw the gold, sold them and became a wealthy man. And he did not return to the king's gate again.

            As the king rode out of his palace the next day, he saw the first beggar still begging for money and stopped to ask him if he ate the cake he gave him. beggar replied and said no sir, i sold them to my friend who was here with me yesterday; i have not seen him today.

             The king shook his head, highly disappointed and confessed silently to himself that,
"indeed blessed is he God helps and not man".



MORAL
 
It pays to wait patiently upon the Lord, In due time the Lord will surely visit you and turn your life around. He knows you more than you know yourself..continue to trust in Him.

THE SAD STORY OF THE FOUR CANDLES

                      ROMANS 05 ; 03 - 04 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation brings patient, and patient brings experience, and experience also brings hope.                  One evening, four candles were burning slowly whiles having a conversation. The ambiance was so soft one could almost hear them talking.                                               The first candle said; i am PEACE but the world is full of anger and fighting, and nobody wants to keep me lit, and slowly it cried and went off.                                                             ...
