A
man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the
barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about
so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:
"I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out in the
street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be
so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children?
God
lead us where He wants to be, not where we want to be. |
If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a
loving God who would allow all of these things." The customer thought for
a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The
barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.
Sometimes
God doesn't give you what you think you want, not because you don't
deserve it, but because you deserve so much more.- Esperanza David |
Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long,
stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt(messy). The
customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the
barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist." "How can you say that?"
asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on
you!" "No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they
did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like
that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."
"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist!
That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help.
That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

God always
has something for you. A key for every problem, a light for
every shadow, a relief for every sorrow and a plan for every
tomorrow.
He is always with us. |
