Life
is like baking a cake
A little
boy is telling his Grandma how "everything" is going wrong. School, family
problems, health problems, problems with friends, etc.
Meanwhile, Grandma is baking a cake. She asks her grandson if he would like a
snack, which, of course, he does.
"Here, have some cooking oil." *"Yuck" says the boy.
"How about a couple raw eggs? " "Gross, Grandma!"
"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"
"Grandma, those are all yucky!"
To which Grandma replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves.
But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully
delicious cake!
God
works the same way. Many times we wonder why he would let us go through such
bad and difficult times.
But Allah knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always
work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make
something wonderful!"
Allah is Crazy About You. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise
every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere
in the universe, and He chose your heart.
