" There is a lesson " says this message !!!

There is a story of about a sea captain who, in his retirement, skippered a boat taking day-trippers to Shetland islands.

On one trip, the boat was full of young people. They laughed at the old captain when they saw him say a prayer before sailing out, because the day was fine and the sea was calm.

However they weren't long at sea when a storm suddenly blew up and the boat began to pitch violently. The terrified passengers came to the captain and asked him to join them in prayer.

But he replied, "I say my prayers when it's calm. When it's rough I attend to my ship."

Here is a lesson for us......

If we cannot seek God in quiet moments of our lives, we are not likely to find him when trouble strikes. We are more likely to panic. But if we have learnt to seek him and trust him in quiet moments, then most certainly we will find him when the going gets rough.

Who else or how else , the presence of GOD be established ?

Read it full......... Don't miss even a single word....
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem
science has with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof:
So you believe in God?

Student:
Absolutely, sir.
Prof
Is God good?

Student:
Sure.

Prof:
Is God all-powerful?

Student
Yes..
Prof:
My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't.
How is this God good then?
(Student is silent.)
Prof:
You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?

Student:
Yes.
Prof:
Is Satan good?

Student
: No.

Prof:
Where does Satan come from?
Student:
From....God...

Prof:
That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student:Yes.

Prof:
Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Student:
Yes.

Prof:So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof:
Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible
things exist in the world, don't they?

Student:
Yes, sir.

Prof:
So, who created them?(Student has no answer.)

Prof:
Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the
world around you.
Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?

Student:No, sir.

Prof:
Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student:
No, sir.
Prof:
Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you
ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student:
No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof:
Yet you still believe in Him?

Student:
Yes.
Prof:
According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your
GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student:
Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof:
Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student:
Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof:
Yes.
Student:
And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof:
Yes.
Student:
No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

StudentSir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat,
white heat, a little heat or no heat.. But we don't have anything
called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but
we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold .
Cold is only a word we use to describe the
absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy Cold is not
the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it .
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)



Student:
What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?


Prof:Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student :You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can
have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light.....But if
you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called
darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would
be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Prof:So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student:
Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof:
Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student:Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is
life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are
viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can
measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought.. It uses
electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully
understood either one.To view death as the opposite of life is to be
ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.
Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.

Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved
from a monkey?
Prof:
If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student:
Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize
where the argument is going.)
Student:
Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and
cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you
not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a
preacher? (The class is in uproar.)
Student:
Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student
Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt
it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according
to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol,
science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir,
how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face
unfathomable.)

Prof:
I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

Student:
That is it sir... *The link between man & god is FAITH *. That is all
that keeps things moving & alive.

NB: I believe you have enjoyed the conversation...and if so...you'll
probably want your friends/colleagues to enjoy the same...won't
you?.... this is a true story, and the *
student was none other than ....... *

Conversation with GOD so very beautiful...

God
Hello. Did you call me?

Me
Called you? No. Who is this?

God
This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.

Me
I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.

God
What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

Me
Don't know. But I can't find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.

God
Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

Me
I understand. But I still can't figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

God
Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.

Me
Tell me, why has life become complicated now?

God
Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.

Me
Why are we then constantly unhappy?

God
Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.

Me
But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?

God
Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.

Me
But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.

God
Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

Me
If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?

God
Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience, their life become better not bitter.

Me
You mean to say such experience is useful?

God
Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

Me
But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be free from problems?

God
Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.

Me
Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading.

God
If you look outside, you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

Me
Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?

God
Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing your road ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

Me
In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

God
Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Me
What surprises you about people?

God
When they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "Why me". Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.

Me
Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I can't get the answer.

God
Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.

Me
How can I get the best out of life?

God
Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

Me
One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

God
There are no unanswered prayers. At times, the answer is NO.

Me
Thank you for this wonderful chat.

God
Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away
