Successful Inspirational stories

1. The Obstacle in Our Path

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway, he then hid himself and watched to see if anyone would moved the boulder out of the way. Some of the kings wealthier merchants and countries came by and simply walked around it.

Many people loudly blame the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

A peasant then came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasent laid down his burden and tried to push the stone out of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded.

After the peasant went back to pick up his vegetables, he noticed the purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king explaining that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.

Moral of the story : Every obstacle we come across in life gives us an opportunity to improve our circumstances, and whilst the lazy complain, the others are creating opportunities through their kind hearts, generosity and willingness to get things done.

As the problem became more acute, a local pastor called a prayer meeting to ask the rain.

Many people arrived. The pastor greeted most of them as they field in. As he walked to the front of the church to officially begin the meeting he noticed

Most people were chatting across the aisles and socializing with friends.

When he reached the front of his thoughts were quieting the attendees and starting the meeting. His eyes scanned the crowd as he asked for quiet.

He noticed an eleven year old girl sitting quietly in the front row. Her face was beaming with excitement. Next to her, posed and ready for use was a bright red umbrella. The little girl's beauty and innocence made the pastor smile has he realized how much faith he has possessed. No one else in the congregation had brought an umbrella. 

All come to play for rain, but the little girl had come expecting God to answer.
