There was once a man who was trapped on the roof of his house during a flood with no way of escaping. With the water level rising fast, the fear of drowning strikes him. With no other option, he prayed to God. "Please save me from the flood, my lord."
As a kayat passed by, they called out to him to go with them but he refused,"God will save me." He said. The moments passed and a boat came by but he turned them down once again. Finally a helicopter came by and still he refuses to go.
Finally when he drowned, he saw god and he asked,"Why didn't you save me?"
With that God replied,"I sent a kayat, a boat and even a helicopter but you turned them down."

The story with abit of humor has its underlining meaning. Recently a friend of mine broke up with her bf, depressed, upset.. all these are understandable. She turned to God for solace, I was glad that she is trying to help herself, but as time passed, her blog sounded of desperation. Then she said a few times on her blog, that "why did God not help her?", "Why did God not bring him back to her?"
Now stop there.. this is wrong. Let it go. God is always there for us all and guide us in times of our need, the answer is always around us. We look to him for guidence, not for something we want. Sometimes the 'answer' is not what we wanted, that is why you are rejecting it and still trying to seek 'answers'. Don't blame 'Him', he had given you the guidence, you choose to reject it. I am not like others who are going to say nice things to 'make you feel better'. I tell you facts of life and wish you will wake up, and grow up. Move on.. the guy make it clear enough to you. Open your mind and look at the world with an open heart. You seek God, you seek a psychiatrist but if you are not open to their help, then everything will still be useless. Thats all I have to say.
Hope everyone will realise that, no matter what we do, face it will a clear conscience and with courage. Food for thought, Take care everyone.
