HOW BEST ARE WE TRAVELING ???

Once upon a time, a king had a great highway built for the people of his kingdom.
After it was completed, but before it was opened to the public, the king decided to have a contest, in which he wanted to see which of the participants would travel the highway, "the best".

Many people competed and traveled along the highway all day but, everyone complained to the king that there was a large pile of rocks on the way, and that it hindered their travel badly.


At last, a lone traveler crossed the finish line wearily and walked over to the king.

He was tired and dirty but addressed the king with great respect and handed over to him a bag of gold.

He explained, "As I was traveling along the highway, I came across a large pile of rocks blocking the road. I stopped to clear it and inside the pile I found this bag. I want you to return it to its rightful owner."

The king replied, "YOU ARE THE RIGHTFUL OWNER." Looking at the traveler’s puzzled expression, the king said, "Yes! You have earned this gold for you have come out a winner in the contest.

He who travels the road "THE BEST" is the one who makes the road "SMOOTHER" for those who would follow”.

Dear friends, in the road of life, How best are we traveling?

The blocks in the road are there for our growth. In spiritual perspective, blocks offer our best and perhaps our only path to growth.

There are GREAT BLESSINGS in problems.Our TROUBLES come to us for GOOD REASON.It is therefore wise for us to BOLDLY CONTEST the problems by WORKING PURPOSEFULLY through it by the strength of God to help us become WHOLE & HEALTHY. But if we DENY THE PAIN and STRIVE TO AVOID IT, the problems will KEEP ON COMING, and they'll be EVEN MORE PAINFUL.

Which one would you like to choose today ????

Remember, If you are walking in a TROUBLE-FREE ROAD, you are certainly in the WRONG LANE.
