Why me only?



Once there was a small kid on earth. One fine day he came to know that God is distributing apples to humans in His place at heaven. The kid was so happy to receive that news and it went with lot of enjoyment to heaven to get the apple from God. There was a big queue standing to get apple from God and this kid also joined in that queue. While he was standing, he was fully excited and thrilled for the fact that he is going to receive in person from God’s hands. His turn too came and the kid showed his both the hands to receive apple. God gave the apple but unfortunately the tiny hands couldn't hold that big apple. Apple fell down and got wasted in mud. The kid got so disappointed. The ministers near the God informed that if the kid liked to have another apple from God then he would have to again follow the queue. Having waited for so long the kid didn't want to return back to earth with empty hands so he decided to wait again in the queue.

This time the queue has become even longer than the previous one. While waiting in queue, the kid could see lot of people who were returning back with apple in hands and utmost satisfaction on their faces. The kid was so much disappointed and thought why I alone didn't get the apple in hands when all others were easily able to get it. Why me only? What is the sin I did that I alone should suffer like this. Now the kid was so scared that he should not miss the apple again. Again his turn came and God gave the apple to the kid's hands and after giving the apple God spoke to the kid.

"My dear child, last time after giving you the apple only, I noticed the apple I gave to you was a rotten apple and that's why I made that to fell down from your hands. Having given you a rotten apple, I felt bad for you and I wanted to give you the best apple in the farm and that time the best apple in the farm was growing and that's why I made you to wait such a long time in the queue. Here it is. Now the apple that you have in your hands is 'The Best' apple in the farm till date. So enjoy it."

Many times we all come across a point in life when we are forced to think, “Why I alone am not getting the things in life while everybody else is getting so easily.”
Remember that time, “You will get the best apple of the farm which is still growing in there.”
