When Life Breaks Down

One day a man broke his model Ford car on the side of the road. Now this man knew a lot about cars so he tried fixing it.

He tried different ways and each time he went back to crank the engine, it wouldn’t start at all. He was a little stubborn so rather than call for help, he continued working alone.

He tried everything and still, nothing…the car won’t start.

A few minutes later, another car pulled up beside him. Out stepped an old man who stood and watched him awhile.

The old man looked at him and said: “Son, do you see this part? Just twist this one and you’re good to go.”

The man whispered in his mind: “There’s no way this old guy could know more about this car than me.”

Anyway, he gate it a try. He adjusted the part, got in the car and sure enough…the engine cranked back to life.

He was surprised and asked the old man: “How did you know what to do?”

Then the old man smiled and said: “My name is Henry Ford. I’m the one who invented your car. And I know everything about it.”

When your life breaks down, don’t ever think that you know how to fix everything…that you don’t need any help. Always remember, only God knows how to fix our lives because we are His creation and He loves us so much.

Even when life seems to have lost its meaning and we are facing a blank wall or think we have reached the end of our road. He invites us to just come to Him. He says: “Come unto Me all ye who labor and are heavey laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” Matthew 11:28-30.
