Gift

It was one of my greatest desires to have a car of my own. I knew that through my effort it's impossible. So I took the only right way to make the dream a reality - I went down on my knees. But then God asked me to wait. Oh my! I can't stand it. Every time I ask the answer is 'wait.' But how long?

I told Him I have no patience. I just can't wait too long for it. Well, finally I won the battle. He said He'll grant my wish. I was so excited that I didn't even think of thanking Him. I ran out of the church.

Next day I found that everything falling on my lines. The cash, the registration, all the formalities - to my surprise everything was taken care of in many ways that my dream was finally coming true. I was busy informing all my friends and relatives about the new car.

And at last the time has come. I threw a party at the best hotel I found in the city. Every one has arrived. I arranged for my friend to get the delivery and bring my car to the venue. We were all anxiously waiting. And there it comes in all its glitters. I was very proud of myself, or rather I conveniently and purposely forgot the part my Lord did.

Few days passed by and I started getting restless that things weren't as smooth as I expected. The new car which I got seems to have lot of problems. It's so frustrating that I started grumbling. And that was the time I realized that God has cheated me. Now it's the time to go to Him to tell Him that He's not trustworthy.

And that night I turned back to Him after a long time, since the day He agreed to bring my dream to reality. And I started with a note of disappointment. I thought He's not worth the thanksgiving for He didn't do a fair thing. I pointed my finger at Him and asked Him what He has done to me.

With a smile so irritating He gently said: Before you asked me I knew your desire. I started working on it long before you came to me. There was a whole lot of details that had to be taken care of. I had to get right people to do it since I wanted it to be very special. I wanted to get the best components so that you get the best of it all. But it was then you interrupted me. I asked you time since people around were not listening to me. I had to find someone better who understand me to get the best of it. But you insisted that you wanted it immediately. You didn't give me enough time to work on it. I had to stop working on it and get it for you the next day itself. And hence I had to keep away the unfinished parts that was specially being made for you and use the normal things for you. And I tried to explain things to you but you ran off the very moment I agreed to your request. Even when you were running around informing others and preparing for the banquet I was running behind you to tell the problems. But you had no time to listen to me. Now you tell me what else you expect me to do.

It was then that I realized how big a fool I am. I missed the best of it I had in store. I have no more complains. All I can is be contempt with what I got. Wish if I had some more patience.
