the story of the sunflower
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful and beautiful sunflower, in a garden. Yes, he grows not far from his mother, a sunflower that almost wilted and pale. This little sunflower was staring at her mother who was wooing and pale and said I am beautiful yah bu? The mother replied with a smile,
Day after day, he became the most beautiful young sunflower from all the sunflowers that exist, until one day he was feeling the heat from the sun. He shouted and cursed that day. Yes he cursed the sky all day. Bad sky !! My body is overheated because of you !! I do not need heat !!.
The next day it rained all day, he again cursed the sky over what happened then, the sky is impertinent !! Gara gara gara, my body aches to hold rain water falling on my petals !! This makes my leaf damaged !! All the inhabitants of the garden had warned the young sunflower, that plants need sunshine and water to survive, but young sunflowers insist on condemning everything.
The next day it became cloudy for several days. not hot, no rain, just cloudy. The last moment, all the inhabitants of the garden began to get sick, they were starving, they lost the sun that had helped them produce food, they also lost the rain water they could drink. But this time, all the inhabitants of the garden cursed the young sunflower. The mother also looked increasingly pale, unable to do nothing but regret the actions of his son.
The young sunflower regrets, she cries all the time, apologizing to God, begging for the sky to bring down the sun and rain. When they were all dying, the sun shone again for half a day, and the rest turned clouded and rain poured down the garden. All the cheering gardens delighted in the rain. The sunflower realized his mistake and he promised to love what he did not like.
Sometimes humans are like sunflowers, God gives us what we need, but because we judge by human eyes, we do not know what God is planning for us.
What we do, just curse, swear, swear without knowing what God is trying to give us. And the result of our actions is the suffering of others. So, learn to be thankful for everything we receive, because God knows what we need.
