This happens in every child's life.. Yours and mine too..
There was a small child who saw a beautiful big balloon on the other side of the road and fell in love with it on a traffic clad busy day..The cars were rushing speedily towards their destination. The cars wouldnt stop for anyone . The child starts demanding the balloon to the mother n father.. and wants to get it himself. The parent refused explaining the situation to the child saying that he would get hurt in the process of getting wht he wants but assures tht they will get a better n bigger balloon for him. The child doesnt listen and is hell bent on getting tht balloon. So forcefully the parent hits the child, still with tears in his eyes the kid still longs for the same. Parents are fed up , its not even possible for them to leave the child and get what he wants .. they stood there wondering what to do.. n suddenly , the child leaves the hand of the mother and run towards the balloon. The parents witnesses the most horrid scene which they would never forget for the rest of the existence , their child got killed in the process of getting something very silly.. The mother still cries asking to the empty space thinking tht thier son may hear her "why didnt you listen to us? we wanted to protect you?" but its too late now...
This is what exactly happens when we do not get what we want.. The child is us asking for something silly, God as parents knows the larger picture,knows wht is good n bad for us, tries ITS level best to make us understand in any language possible that THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU, sometimes we listen, sometimes we dont.. Pain,heartbreak, and many other incidences are Gods way of telling us " WE WILL GIVE U A BETTER n BIGGER THINGS, leave this one, its not good for u.. Ull harm yourself" but do we trust God? no. and yes all depends on how a good of a kid we are. ;) and ultimately when we are hurt , it hurts GOD much more then you, you are ITS child for Christ's sake!!! God says the same words that the mother used " why didnt you listen to us? we wanted to protect you?" and sometimes we are too dead to even hear that...
If we listen we may miss out on a big balloon but will surely get BIGGER N BETTER balloon.. :D It only takes this much of a faith for God to give u better things in life.. We reading this feels Oh such a stupid kid.. lost hiss life after stupid thing,, we arent any different , we also lose ourself for many things which arent for our ultimate good. If we are alert enough to listen to the CREATOR we would be saving our selves from much bigger trouble.. The journey is not of "FINDING GOD" because you are never away from God as God is everything and everywhere.. The journey is of TRUST in that God ;which we have lost in the consecutive births and probably that lack of trust has only made us come back many times to learn the same lesson..
So just buckle up your trust and enjoy the journey of your life
God bless
