Guest guest Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 hi folks, i'm back again this time its with a little PUSH wondering what PUSH is.........read on to find out! P.U.S.H A man was sleeping at night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light, and the Lord appeared. The Lord told the man he had work for him too, and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin. The Lord explained that the man was to push against the rock with all his might. This man did, day after day. For many years he toiled from sunup to sundown, his shoulders set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the unmoving rock, pushing with all his might. Each night the man returned to his cabin sore, and worn out, feeling that his whole day had been spent in vain. Since the man was showing signs of discouragement, the devil decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into the man's weary mind: " You have been pushing against that rock for long time, and it hasn't budged. Why kill yourself over this? You are never going to move it. " Thus, giving the man the impression that the task was impossible and that he was a failure. These thoughts discouraged and disheartened the man. " Why kill myself over this? " he thought. " I'll just put in my time, giving just the minimum effort; and that will be good enough. " And that is what he planned to do, until one day he decided to make it a matter of prayer and take his troubled thoughts to the Lord. " Lord, " he said, " I have laboured long and hard in your service, putting all my strength to do that which you have asked. Yet, after all this time, I have not even budged that rock by half a millimetre. " What is wrong? Why am I failing! ? " The Lord responded compassionately, " My friend, when I asked you to serve me and you accepted I told you that your task was to push against the rock with all your strength, which you have done. Never once did I mention to you that I expected you to move it. Your task was to push. And now you come to me with our strength spent, thinking that you have failed. But is that really so? Look at yourself. Your arms are strong and muscled, your back is sinewy and brown, your hands are callused from constant pressure, and your legs have become massive and hard. Through opposition you have grown much, and your utilities now surpass that which you used to have. Yet you haven't moved the rock. But your calling was to be obedient and to push and to exercise your faith and trust in My wisdom. This you have done. I, my friend, will now move the rock. " At times, when we hear a word from the Baba, we tend to use our own intellect to decipher what He wants, when actually what baba wants is just simple obedience and faith in Him.... By all means, exercise the faith that moves mountains but know that it is still He who moves the mountains. When everything seems to go wrong ... just P.U.S.H.! When the job gets you down ... just P.U.S.H.! When people don't react the way you think they should ... just P.U.S.H.! When your money looks " gone " and the bills are due ... just P.U.S.H.! When people just don't understand you ... just P.U.S.H.! P.U.S.H. - Pray Until Something Happens!!!!! adios amigoes!! " Silence reveals yourself to you! Words reveal yourself to others, sometimes wrongly!!
