CONTACT THE SOURCE OF SUCCESS

CONTACT THE SOURCE OF SUCCESS

 

If you really want to succeed in life, you must contact the source of success – God. God is the source of success. So many people came and say to me: "We have done our best. But why have we failed? Why have we not succeeded in life?"

 

I narrated to them the story of a little boy who was moving on the road, with his father beside him. The son found a huge stone lying in the middle of the road. And he said to his father, "I want to remove this stone, lest some pedestrian should trap on it and get hurt."

 

"Go ahead son," said the father.

 

The little boy tried to lift up the stone. He struggled hard; he perspired; he put his very best. But try as he might, he could not lift the stone. Dejected and frustrated, he said to his father, "I have put forth my best efforts, but I have failed."

 

"Where have you put forth your best efforts?" asked the father, "Here I am, I have been standing by your side all the time. All that you needed to do was to turn to me and ask me to help you. And my strength would be your strength. In that added strength, you could have effortlessly lifted that stone."

 

Our Heavenly Father is always by our side. All we have to do is to turn to him for help and we will never fail us.
