FAITH TURNS SORROW INTO JOY

***                                                          FAITH TURNS SORROW INTO JOY*** One day, a lady was giving some lessons to her little nephew. He was generally a good, attentive child. But on this occasion he could not fix his mind on the lessons. The child had actually lost one of his favorite marbles and was disturbed by it. So after a little while of distraction, the little boy suddenly said: "Aunty, may I kneel down and ask God to help me find my marble?" His aunt gave her consent. The little boy knelt by his chair, closed his eyes, and prayed silently. Then he rose and went on with his lessons contentedly. Next day, with fear that the child had not found his toy, and so might lose his simple faith, the lady gently asked him: "Well, dear, have you found your marble?" "No, Aunty," was the reply, "but God has made me not want to!" What a beautiful reply, isn't it? God does not always answer our prayers in the way we wish or expect! But if we are sincere in our prayers to Him… "He will take from us the desire for what is contrary to His Will… … and give us faith and hope to leave all to His Holy Will!"
