The prophet story – Inspired from Paulo Coelho

ImageO Lord, Today is the day of Atonement and  my list of sins against Thee is long:

-I have been weak, for i have forgotten my strength
-i have been compassionate, when i should have been firm
-i have failed to chose , for fear of making the wrong decision
-i have yielded before the time to do so, and i have blasphemed when i should have given thanks.

Still i have also a list of Thy sins against me:

-You made me suffer more than was just, by taking from this world one that i love.
-You have confounded my search, Thy harshness almost made me forget the love i have for Thee.
-You have destroyed the city that received me.

If we compare the lists you shall see that you are in my debt. But since today is the Day of Atonement, give me forgiveness and shall forgive You.

At that moment a wind blew and an angel appeared. “You have done well. God had accepted the request.”

Tears where falling from the prophet.He knelt and kissed the valley and the soil.

“Thank you for having come, for i still have one doubt : is it not a sin to do this?”

The angel said: “If a warrior fight with his instructor, does he offend him?”

“No. It is the only way to teach the technique that he must learn.”

“Then continue.” The angel replied.

A man has not to accept his fate, he has to chose it.

God it s like a father he sees his children how they take their own decisions, and responsibility for their path. They should be able to manage on their own, there is no greater pride than to see that.

Each person should take into their hands the responsibility of their own life.

We have the greatest gift: to chose for ourselves. Don t let others chose for you.

Cowards, all they want is for the changed situation to go back to what it use to be, so they can go on living their lives and things in their customary ways.

The brave , set afire that which  is old, even with the cost of great internal suffering, abandoning everything including God and continue onward.

From heaven God smiles contentedly, because he sees his children living on their own, not constantly needing his help. So just say thank you !

Thank you for the pain you re giving me , because the lesson from it its so much greater.

Paulo Coelho said :

There is no tragedy, only the unavoidable.Everything has his reason of being, you just have to distinguish what is temporary and what is everlasting.
-What is temporary?
-The unavoidable..
-What is everlasting?
-The lesson of the unavoidable.
