God's boxes

Tweet

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 stored. But though the gold became heavier each day. The black was 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 are 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. The above internet message reveals two things i.e. good deeds and bad deeds. Always good deeds are admired by all, while bad deeds viceversa. Here God has given clear indication that cultivate good deeds and give up bad deeds. Those who perform honestly with good intention behind it, will be liked by the God. Those who always think ill of others will have to undergo lot of sufferings. Therefore accumulate good deeds like joys and give up bad deeds like sorrow. For a pious person, God will take care of his accumulation of sorrow. Do you have any other ideas?
