One day, A man decided to travel by ship with his friends. While in the middle of their journey,the boat began to sink. Everyone tried to escape by swimming,but it was all in vain. All drowned except this man who succeeded in clinging to a floating object and reach a small island.
There he built a straw but survived on fruits and herbs. Week passed despair grew. Each night he’d light a fire for a warmth. One night he was awakened by an overwhelming heat. It was his straw hut that caught fire.
He cried accusing and blaming God,shouting “oh God: what have I done to you to hurt me so? You separated me from my family,all friends,and now you let my hut burn. Why are you so hard on me? It’s better to die because I am tired of living in this suffering.”
But at dawn a boat landed on island. He ran straight for the captain and asked him: “captain,how did you get here?” The captain replied: In the night we saw a fire and we thought that you used the fire in order for us to find you.” The man cried fell on his knees and asked God for forgiveness. And he got into the boat and went home and reunited with his family.
Moral of the story:
God has many ways of solving our problems. Do not curse your God even if you suffer. Keep faith and hope. He will act.
