I heard a good Buddhist movie line: "Rich manure can fertilize fields which will feed millions" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0245803/quotes, Bullet Proof Monk).
I own a piece of land of no real significance, but property none the less. It's mine because no one wants to buy it.
I've tried everything to make it workable and profitable in some way with no good results. I've even asked people who claimed authority to help me in my efforts to make this land worthwhile, but they were not the authority they claimed. Now I'm back to worthless land and their worthless products.
I'm so very tired of my life being so wasted and used for nothing.
With a broken heart and finding no further options, I gave up my efforts to produce any good thing from this land and accepted the harsh reality that this land is worthless.
One day in my despair, a good rain came along with a new hope that this land just may come alive with a good crop. What seemed to be worthless fertilizer, helped heal the earth along with the good rain God gave.
Could it be that the false helpers unknowingly provided an effective fertilizer to make a good soil that would bring the good crops?
It could be that sometimes the effects of false news, gossip, or any information not proved by truth is nothing more than fertilizer and God's reminder that we need to pray. When we pray asking God first for the truth, it is like a good rain. Only then, we can feed countless of hungry people.
Fertilizer is the dreadful conditions that move us to pray and the good rain is our prayers.
God, please help us feed hungry people everywhere.
God bless our precious country and the whole world.
