A simple story to share with glowing.

A man works in a church for a living,

his job is to open & close the door for those who come to church & pray.

At the front of the church, 

is a cross with Jesus hanging on it.

Everyday, the man sees a lot of people coming into the church to pray to Jesus.

For little things, such as losing of ICs & wallets.

For man, for his wife or for a wife.

For woman, for her children and husband.

Everyone who comes into the church has something to pray about, be it significant or not.

The man witnesses this everyday,

& one day, he finally said to Jesus,

"Dear God, if only i can share your burden for one day"

Jesus heard his prayer, got down from the cross and said to the man,

"I shall exchange roles with you for one day. I'd open & close the church doors, & you shall listen to the people's prayers. With one condition. You will not open your mouth to talk no matter what prayers you hear"

The man agreed.

So, the fake Jesus hang on the cross & listen to people's prayers,

while Jesus opened & closed the door for those who comes to pray.

On that very day,

a wealthy man walks into the church, puts down a packet of money and left.

The fake Jesus was confused & thought to himself, 

"I wonder what's that money for"

Later, a poor man walks into the church, & closed his eyes to pray,

"God, I am poor with no money at all to support my family. Please help me"

The poor man opened his eyes and saw the packet of money.

He thought that God gave him a miracle, so he thanked Jesus and left the church.

Meanwhile, the fake Jesus wanted to stop him from taking the money which does not belong to him, but still he said nothing.

Next, a young man who is about to go onboard a ship, came into the church to pray for a safe journey.

Before he could pray, the wealthy man ran into the church & upon realising his money is gone,

he confronted the young man angrily.

While the young man kept denying he did not take his money, the wealthy man simply kept accusing him of being a thief. 

Unable to ignore this unjustified situation any longer, 

the fake Jesus shouted,

"The young man did not take your money! A poor man who came before him was the one who took your money!"

Thus,

the wealthy man ran out of the church to catch the poor man, and the young man rushed off to catch his ship.

& Jesus appeared in front of the fake Jesus, and said 

"From now on, you do not have the right to listen to people's prayers"

The man was confused, didn't he just did the correct thing?

It turned out;

The wealthy man wanted to use his money for prostitution.

The poor man who took his money was really in need of money to feed his family.

The young man who rushed off to board his ship, was actually going on board Titanic.

SO,

if the fake Jesus had not spoken,

the poor man would have the money to support his family,

the wealthy man would not get back his money to continue his sinful acts,

& the young man would still be arguing with the wealthy man, 

thus missing his ship which would save him his life.

I guess this story reminded me,

that no matter how smart humans are, how logical we can analyze situations,

God still plans more perfectly than we can ever imagine.

& I hope,

this story would remind you too.
