Have a blessed day.
The Bible says to have an answer for why you
believe, to those who ask you.
This is a good example of an answer to one of the
most common reasons people give for ignoring
God and His goodness.
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut
and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to
work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of
God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God
exists." "Why do you say that?" asked the
customer. "Well, you just have to go out in the
street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if
God exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children? If God
existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.
I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of
these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't
respond because he didn't want to start an
argument. The barber finished his job and the
customer left the shop Just after he left the
barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long,
stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He
looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned
back and entered the barber shop again and he
said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do
not exist." "How can you say that?" asked the
surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber.
And I just worked on you!" "No!" the customer
exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they
did, there would be no people with dirty long hair
and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens, is
people do not come to me." "Exactly!"- affirmed
the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES
exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him
and do not look for Him. That's why there's so
much pain and suffering in the world."
