have to read!

This  is one of the best explanations of  why God allows pain and suffering that I have ever heard..

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! That's what  happens when people do not come to me." 
 


"Exactly!" affirmed  the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist!
That's   what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to
Him  for help.That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."


BE   BLESSED & BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS !!!!!!!
