Never Despair

Once upon a time, an elephant and a dog became pregnant at the same time. Three months down the line the dog gave birth to six puppies. Six months later the dog was pregnant again, and nine months later, it gave birth to a dozen puppies. And the pattern continued. On the eighteenth month the dog approached the elephant and asked, "Are you sure that you are pregnant? We became pregnant on the same date, I have given birth three times to a few dozen puppies and they are now grown to become big dogs, yet you are still pregnant. What’s going on?"

And the elephant responded, “There is something I want you to understand. What I am carrying is not a puppy but an elephant. I only give birth to one in two years. When my baby hits the ground, the earth feels it. When my baby crosses the road, human beings stop and watch in admiration. What I carry draws attention. So what I'm carrying is mighty and great!"

So, don't lose faith when you see others receive answers to their prayers. Don't be envious of others' testimonies. If you haven't received your own blessings, don't despair. Say to yourself, "My time is coming, and when it hits the surface of the earth, people shall gaze in wonder and admiration." Have a blessed day!
