I just saw this nice story with a wonderful lesson and
thought to share it with you all this morning. Please enjoy.

An aging King realized that if he died he has no one to take over the throne. He decided to adopt a son. He launched a competition and 10 boys made it to the top. The King said to them, "I have one last test and whoever comes top will become my adopted son and heir to my throne".

He gave each boy a seed of corn and told them to take the seed home, plant and nurture it for 3 weeks. The 10 boys took their seeds and ran home to plant their seeds.

In one home, the boy and his parents were sad when the
seed failed to sprout. The boy had done everything but he
failed. His friends advised him to buy a seed and plant it but his God fearing parents who had always taught him honesty refused.

The last day came and the 10 boys went to the palace. All the 9 boys were successful. The King went to each boy asking – “Is that what came out of the seed I gave you?" And each boy said "Yes, your majesty". The King would nod and move down the line until the last boy in the line who was shaking with fear. The King asked him - "What did you do with the seed I gave you?" The boy said "I planted it and cared for it your majesty but it failed to sprout." The King went to his throne with the boy and said, "I gave these boys boiled seeds and a boiled seed cannot sprout! If a King must have one quality, it must be honesty and only this boy passed the test.”

We live in a society where people will do anything for success. God sometimes does not give us things because He wants to teach us a lesson. How many people out there have achieved success the wrong way? How many people send their children to expensive schools and build houses, buy expensive cars with stolen money? How many people are occupying top positions yet they stole the certificates? How many people are successful out there at all costs?

HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE CROWNED FOR BEING FAITHFUL UNTIL THE END? I PRAY THAT I
BE FAITHFUL TILL THE END!!!

Please be faithful to God no matter what life throws at you,
even if life gives you boiled seed. SHALOM!!
