young shepherd boy

Tell you a story..
Once upon a time, God spoke to a wise man and he began seeking for a young boy to be chosen. This young boy will be someone who will be very important to the people of the land. The wise man found and spoke to a father who had many strong and mighty sons.

The father went forth and promoted his sons, one after another, from the strongest to the smartest to the bravest... to the wise man. However, the wise man would reject one son after another.

At the end of which, this father began thinking, all my sons do not qualify, my strongest, my tallest, my most capable.. then, he thought of the last of his sons, a shepherd boy who was tending to the sheep. And since this was his last available son, he presented it to the wise man.

The wise man was delighted at the first sight of this young boy. He was immediately chosen.

This young boy's name is David and he went on to defeat the giant Goliath and many other enemies of the land. David rose to become a great king bringing peace and prosperity to the land.

...
Sometimes our colleagues, friends or even our parents will have little faith in our capabilities and might believe that we are not destined for great things. David's father believe David is good enough to tend sheep. Never in his wildest dreams would he imagine his son would rise to become the great king of Israel.

Friends, do not despair if people do not believe in you and think that you are destined for a normal life, for if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you shall move mountains. If God is for you, who can be against you. Have faith that you are an overcomer, an achiever and you can do all things and become successful and prosperous!
