 STORY OF GRACE

The only survivor of a ship wreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect himself from the elements, and to store his few possessions.

One day, when he returned after hunting for food, he found his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened. Everything was lost. He was stunned. Filled with grief and anger, he shouted: “God, how could you do this to me?”

Early the next day, he woke up to the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. “How did you know I was here?” asked the weary but grateful man of his rescuers. “We saw your smoke signal,” they replied.

It’s easy to get discouraged when things appear to be going badly. But we shouldn’t lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of all the pain and suffering.

Remember, the next time your “little hut” is up in flames, it could just be the smoke signal that summons the grace of God. For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has a positive answer for it.

God or anything else, I'm not ensured, but believe that every event of occurances around us are entirely guided by the law of nature. If that is called God, I dunno, but believe in this natural power of control.
