God's Boxes جعبه های خدا



I have in my hands two boxes which God gave me to hold
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black, And all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes Both my joys and sorrows I stored
But though the gold became heavier each day The black was as light as before
With curiosity, I opened the black I wanted to find out why
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole Which my sorrows had fallen out by.
I showed the hole to God, and mused aloud, "I wonder where my sorrows could be."
He smiled a gentle smile at me. "My child, they're all here with me."
I asked, "God, why give me the boxes, Why the gold, and the black with the hole?"
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, The black is for you to let go."

It remind me that god is so kind he love his creatures and he wants they live in happiness without sadness without any pain. And it says we must not pay attention to sorrows we should leave them and let them go. We can forget them with praying and speaking with our lovely creator. the highest in the world.
Thanks for your reminding my dear teacher!

According this imaginary story God loves his creatiore and showed his love by different way and he doesn’t like to see us unhappy so he gives us a lot gift to be become happy and we should try to make them usefull in right way .Of course some time sadness is nessesary for the life to understand the value of happiness.

God is very kind and merciful because he want to forget the sorrows and remember our joys.
but we think that our life is full of the sorrows because just we remember our sorrows

There are curvet and despondency altogheter.God gifts us many blessings.Perhaps we don,t notice to those.God always ask our thanksgiving for blessings and memorize them.Also we forget sorrow in our life.

I think we must leave sorrows and we must think to joys. God want as well we should be happy. God don't like sorrows and God take sorrows of us until we should be always happy.

those who really belive in God are never sad. because they are satisfied with what they have done in past and also they are not worried about what is going to happen in future. they always try their best but the result is up to God. any eay they are sure that by being hopeful just to God, whatever happens to them is the best for them cause God never wants bad for his true slaves.and i think this is how God takes our sorrows just by "TAVAKKOL"
