There is a proverb "You
only know what you’ve got, when it’s gone".
Every moment, that passes in our life
is of a great opportunity. Many people, only
realize the importance, of a thing when they lose that thing. Whatever God
has given in our lives should be valued. Unfortunately, people take the
blessings, God gave in our daily lives for granted. Whether, it is a big thing
or a small thing, it's God who has given; each one valuable gifts in their life.
Value, the thing which you have. Instead of that, everyone’s keeps an eye on the things other people
have, but they don't have; take it to be a physical thing, or material
thing. Like, some complain that God, didn't give beautiful hands or legs, they don't
value, that at least they have hands and legs to work, or do their activities,
but complain of it to be less beautiful.
I, recently went through a very nice,
motivational story of an orphan blind boy. A blind boy, used to beg near a
crowded roadside. He, had a board in front of him " I am blind please help" . Many passerby used to just
see, him begging and go away. One day, a young man came to him looked over his
board dropped a few coins in his bowl and did some corrections on his board and
went his way. The boy noticed a change, all the passerby stopped, and used to
put money on his begging bowl. The blind boy, was very happy. After, few days
the blind boy could recognize, the footsteps of the same young man, who had
changed his board. He, thanked the young man and asked, Sir what did you write
on the board, as after you wrote the money came pouring in. The young man, said
I just wrote "This is a beautiful day but I can't see".
That was the moment, people recognized the
importance of eyes in their lives. They came to know the value, of their own
eyes. Such, is the case of many of us nowadays. We, forget the value of things
God has given, we do not realize the true blessings in our lives. God, has told
us in many places in the bible that "you are of more value than many
sparrows", Matt 10:31. We are made in God's own image. You and me, are
precious in His eyes. In, Ps 139:14 David says, "I praise you, for I am
fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very
well".
