Guest guest Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hare Krishna A young convert approached his pastor with a question. "How can God, who isgood, forgive a sinner? Isn't he repulsed by all the hatred and jealousythat fills people?" The pastor looked warmly at this young, enthusiastic friend and said, "Youare the third generation in a family of master furniture makers. Tell me, ifa fine table that your grandfather had made was scratched, would you throw it away?Of course not!" the young man exclaimed. "A scratch can hardlychange the character of a fine piece of furniture.And," the pastor continued, "if you nicked a well-crafted oak table, would you toss it away?Throw it away? No way!" reacted the young man. "Evenwith a few scratches, quality furniture is sturdy and valuable.""You have spoken like a true professional," the pastor replied. "You share the same norm that God follows when he judges people precious and valuablein spite of their obvious flaws." -- ! Jai Gurudev ! Sent from Mail. A Smarter Email.
