Master Always Helps !
By Fellow Initiate
Tan, Hong Kong
Anytime,
anywhere, and whatever emergency situation we are in, we should firmly
believe that Master is always with us, then any crisis will be dissolved.
Once, I was returning to Hong Kong alone after visiting my relatives
in the United States. Due to a flight delay, time was very tight
when I changed planes at the next stop. Only half an hour was left,
and I had to run to the adjacent International Airport which was
quite a distance away. To make the situation even worse, whenever
I asked someone for directions, I always received the wrong information.
Each time I had to double back after going the wrong way. Extremely
worried and anxious, I dared not even look at my watch. I just ran
as fast as I could, and prayed hard to Master for help.
Finally,
I reached the check-in counter, but the lady was engaged on the phone,
pushing my anxiety to the extreme. Eventually, I could only watch
the gate close in front of my nose. I was even stared at, being blamed
for getting there late. I really wanted to cry, and started to complain
that Master did not help me. Not knowing what to do, I wandered past
the luggage checkpoint and surprisingly noticed that my handbag was
still there! Then I totally understood why Master did not let me
get on the plane. Where could I go without my identification papers?
More strangely, everyone started to treat me nicely. I was even treated
to free hotel accommodations and many complimentary favors. That
was an extra day of vacation for me! How could I thank Master --
our precious 'Mother,' for Her meticulous arrangement?
Sometimes
we pray for Master's help, but receive no response even when our
begging hearts lay broken. We should then consider that we only see
the immediate setback, whereas Master can foresee the distant future.
Only when the time is ripe will She let us taste the sweeter fruit.
