Best Explanation in favor of God's Existence

This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and

suffering that I have seen: A man went to a barbershop to have his
hair

cut and his beard trimmed.

As the barber began to work, they began to have a good

conversation.

They talked about so many things and various subjects.

When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the

barber said:



"I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go

out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?

Would there be abandoned children?

If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.

I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these

things."

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond

because he didn't want to start an argument.

The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.

Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the

street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed

beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again

and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not

exist."

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.

"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because

if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair

and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."



"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people

do not come to me."

"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES

exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look

to Him for help. That's! why there's so much pain and suffering in the

world."

Purpose of Life - Life of Purpose

“The purpose of life is…

to live a life of purpose.”

The house of 1000 mirrors

Our life is actually a reflection of our thoughts and actions.

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors.

A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house.

He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could.

To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his.

He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly.

As he left the House, he thought to himself, " This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house.

He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him.

As he left, he thought to himself, " That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."

ALL THE FACES IN THE WORLD ARE MIRRORS.

JUST OBSERVE WHAT KIND OF REFLECTIONS DO YOU SEE IN THE FACES OF THE PEOPLE YOU MEET?

Chinese Story

A long time ago in China, a girl named Li-Li got married &
Went to live with her husband and mother-in-law. In a very short time,

Li-Li found that she couldn't get along with her mother-in-law at all.

Their personalities were very different, and Li-Li was angered by
Many of her mother-in-law's habits. In addition, she criticized Li-Li
Constantly.

Days passed and weeks passed. Li-Li and her mother-in-law
Never stopped arguing and fighting. But what made the situation even
Worse was that,

According to ancient Chinese tradition, Li-Li had to bow
To her mother-in-law and obey her every wish. All the anger and
Unhappiness in the house was causing Li-Li's poor husband great distress.

Finally, Li-Li could not stand her mother-in-law's bad temper
And dictatorship any longer, and she decided to do something about
It.

Li-Li went to see her father's good friend, Mr. Huang, who sold herbs.

She told him the situation and asked if he would give her some poison
So that she could solve the problem once and for all. Mr. Huang thought
For a while,and finally said, " Li-Li, I will help you solve your problem,
But you must listen to me and obey what I tell you."

Li-Li said, " Yes, Mr. Huang, I will do whatever you tell me to
Do."

Mr. Huang went into the back room, and returned in a few
Minutes with a package of herbs. He told Li-Li, " You can't use a quick-acting
Poison to get rid of your mother-in-law, because that would cause people
To become suspicious .

Therefore, I have given you a number of herbs that will slowly
Build up poison in her body. Every other day prepare some delicious meal and
Put a little of these herbs in her serving. Now, in order to make sure
That nobody suspect you when she dies.

You must be very careful to act very friendly towards her.

Don't argue with her, obey her every wish, and treat her like
A queen."

Li-Li was so happy. She thanked Mr. Huang and hurried home to
Start her plot of murdering her mother-in-law. Weeks went by and months
Went by, and every other day, Li-Li served the specially treated food to her

Mother-in-law. She remembered what Mr. Huang had said about
Avoiding suspicion, so she controlled her temper, obeyed her
Mother-in-law, and treated her like her own mother.

After six months had passed, the whole household had changed. Li-Li had practiced controlling her temper so much that she found that she almost never got mad or upset.

She hadn't had an argument with her mother-in-law in six
Months because she now seemed much kinder and easier to get along with. The

Mother-in-law's attitude toward Li-Li changed, and she began to love Li-Li
Like her own daughter. She kept telling friends and relatives that Li-Li was the
Best daughter-in-law one could ever find. Li-Li and her mother-in-law
Were now treating each other like a real mother and daughter.

Li-Li's husband was very happy to see what was happening.

One day, Li-Li came to see Mr. Huang and asked for his help
Again.

She said, " Dear Mr. Huang, please help me to keep the poison from
Killing my mother-in-law! She's changed into such a nice woman, and I
Love her like my own mother. I do not want her to die because of the poison
I gave her."

Mr. Huang smiled and nodded his head. " Li-Li, there's
Nothing to worry about. I never gave you any poison. The herbs I gave
You were vitamins to improve her health. The only poison was in your
Mind and your attitude toward her, but that has been all washed away by the
Love which you gave to her."

HAVE YOU REALIZED that how you treat others is exactly how
They will treat you? There is a wise Chinese saying: " The person who loves
Others will also be loved in return."

God might be trying to work in another person's life through you

Tragic Story

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in
bed.
She goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the
kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him.He appears to be in
deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes a
tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.
"What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room.
"Why are you down here at this time of night?"
The husband looks up from his coffee, "Do you remember 20 years ago
when we were dating, and you were only 18?" he asks solemnly. "Yes I
do" she replies.
The husband pauses; the words were not coming easily. "Do you
remember when your father caught us in the garden?"
"Yes, I remember" said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside
him.
The husband continued.. "Do you remember when he showed the shotgun
in my
face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter, or I'll send you to jail
for
20 years?"
"I remember that too" she replied softly.
He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, "I would have been
released today!"
