The Marble Statue and the Marble Tile

The Marble Tile

Marble Statue

There was this museum laid with beautiful marble tiles, with a huge marble statue displayed in the middle of the lobby. Many people came from all over the world just to admire this beautiful marble statue.

One night, the marble tiles started talking to the marble statue.Marble tile: "Marble statue, it's just not fair, it's just not fair! Why does everybody from all over the world come all the way here just to step on me while admiring you? Not fair!"


Marble statue: "My dear friend, marble tile. Do you still remember that we were actually from the same cave?"


Marble tile: "Yeah! That's why I feel it is even more unfair. We were born from the same cave and yet we receive different treatment now. Not fair!" he cried again.


Marble statue: "Then, do you still remember the day when the designer tried to work on you, but you resisted the tools?"


Marble tile: "Yes, of course I remember. I hate that guy! How could he use those tools on me, it hurt so badly."


Marble statue: "That's right! He couldn't work on you at all as you resisted being worked on."Marble tile: "So???"


Marble statue: "When he decided to give up on you and start working on me instead, I knew at once that I would be something different after his efforts. I did not resist his tools, instead I bore all the painful tools he used on me.."


Marble tile: "Mmmmmm......."


Marble statue: "My friend, there is a price to everything in life. Since you decided to give up half way, you can't blame anybody who steps on you now."


Potter and the Clay

But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Isaiah 64:8 (King James Version)

Yes indeed, GOD is in control of everything...He is an ever powerful and awesome God! All you have to do is to trust Him, no matter how heavy your burden is...or how painful the situations you are in...God will make a way!!! Though it seems impossible...He will make a way for you...Just trust Him...Let Him hold you...and mold you- as He planned...He will make a great masterpiece out of you!

They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.
Psalm 112:7-8 NLT

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed….
2 Corinthians 4:8-9KJV
