A Boat to The Kingdom of God


In many times in our life, God always offers every one of us a boat that will take us to Heaven.
This boat is so small and ugly that nobody wants to take the offer.

And we miss all the offers, many Times!!! Yes I said many times!!!

Between God's offers and sport cars, we choose sport cars!!
Between God's offers and lovers, we choose our lovers!!
Between God's offers and our Suffering, we choose our Suffering!!!
And so on.
We always think that material life is much better than what Heaven offers.

Isn't it Ironic?

If you think God never offer you this boat that I'm talking about... Let me refresh your memory.

In your life, Have you ever suddenly wonder:

Why we are born? and Why we can die?
Why we are here? and Why we have to work?
Why some people are rich and some people are poor?
Why aren't you born as men?
Why aren't you born as women?
Why aren't you born as gay?
Why are you born as gay?
Why aren't you born as poor people?
Why aren't you born beautiful?
Why aren't you born ugly?
Why aren't you born an Atheist?
Why aren't you born a Christian?
Why aren't you born a Buddhist?
Why aren't you born a good guy?
Why aren't you born a bad guy?
Is money all that you want?
Is popularity all that you want?
Is pretty wife (or handsome husband) all that you want?
Why you never get satisfied after you get everything you want?
and so on.

And finally,
Why we have to do all these stupid things if in the end we cannot avoid death?

Those are the small boats that God offer to you!! All of these Whys!!

In the end most of you probably just said, "It's a fate" or "I'm lucky" or "Because God loves me"
In other words, you reject the boat.

Those who take the boat will keep looking for the answers.
They simply just use the boat from God, even if God doesn't give them compass or map.
They trust God as their navigator.
They know God will guide them to this uncharted place called Heaven.
And They will find it.
