Lessons Learned In Life 1

[LOVE ISLAM]

Imagine I gifted you with a box full of tools and every material you’d need, and then asked you to build a house—not for me—for yourself. How many people would fall in love with the hammer and forget about building the house? How many would use the tools instead to destroy themselves? God gave us this world, which is nothing but a box full of tools. Our ability to love is a tool. Our heart is a tool. Our life experiences are a tool. Our relationships, our money, our bodies, our minds, the sky, the sun, the stars, are all part of that tool box. And He has asked us to build a house. Not for Him. For ourselves. But most of us are so in love with the tools, we’ve forgotten the purpose.

 

Trying to get his/her love, getting that fancy house, playing soccer...this wasn't the main purpose.

 

We had no other purpose but to try to please Him.
