God's Will, God's Way

 ...came across this revelation on a friend's FB Wall, It a pleasure to share with you!

The Will of God will never take you...
...Where the grace of God cannot keep you
...Where the arms of God cannot support you
...Where the riches of God cannot supply your needs
...Where the power of God cannot endow you.

The Will of God will never take you...
...Where the spirit of God cannot work through you
...Where the wisdom of God cannot teach you
...Where the army of God cannot protect you
...Where the hands of God cannot mold you.

The Will of God will never take you...
...Where the love of God cannot enfold you
...Where the mercy of God cannot sustain you
...Where the peace of God cannot calm your fears
...Where the authority of God cannot overrule for you.

The Will of God will never take you...
...Where the comfort of God cannot dry your tears
...Where the Word of God cannot feed you
...Where the miracles of God cannot be done for you
...Where the omnipresence of God cannot find you......

The Donkey Story

Positive Attitudes (turning problems into opportunities)

One day a farmer's donkey fell into a well. The farmer desperately thought what to do as the tormented animal cried out to be rescued. With no obvious solution, the farmer regretfully concluded that as the donkey was old, and as the well needed to be filled in anyway, he should give up the idea of rescuing the beast, and simply fill in the well. Hopefully the poor animal would not suffer too much, he tried to persuade himself.

The farmer asked his neighbours help, and before long they all began to shovel earth quickly into the well. When the donkey realised what was happening he wailed and struggled, but then, to everyone's relief, the noise stopped.

After a while the farmer looked down into the well and was astonished by what he saw. The donkey was still alive, and progressing towards the top of the well. The donkey had discovered that by shaking off the dirt instead of letting it cover him, he could keep stepping on top of the earth as the level rose. Soon the was able to step up over the edge of the well, and he happily trotted off.

Life tends to shovel dirt on top of each of us from time to time. The trick is to shake it off and take a step up.
