Where is the barber?

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut andhis 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, thebarber said: "Idon'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 Godexists, would there be so many sick people? Wouldthere 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, butdidn't respondbecause he didn't want to start an argument.The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barber shop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty andunkempt.The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "Youknow what? Barbers do not exist.""How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I justworked on you!""No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbersdon't exist because if they did, there would be no people withdirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.""Ah, but barbers DO exist! " answered the barber."What happens, is, people do not come to me.""Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That'sthe point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don'tgo to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

I had read this many times but i always forgot the ending. But i tot tat this is a very good illustration to share with people about God. But for us to take note is tat, even when we know God, we still will be face with sufferings and pain. We are still pretty much in the world like before knowing God. But after knowing God, our trust and confidence is in God. Even through our trials and tough times, we know that our God is faithful and will deliver us through.
