God does exist...meaningful *MUST READ*

I came across this in another blog which the blog owner found it from another blog too...

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. They eventually touched on the subject of God.

Barber : I don't believe that God exists.

Customer : Why do you say that?

Barber : Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would    there be so many sick people? Would there 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, but didn’t respond because he didn’t want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again.

Customer : You know what? Barbers don't exist.

Barber : How can you say that? I am here. I am a barber, and I just worked on you!

Customer : No! Barbers don’t exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.

Barber : Ah, but barbers DO exist! That’s what happens when people do not come to me.

Customer : Exactly! That’s the point! God, too, DOES exist! That’s what happens when people do not go to Him and don’t look to Him for help. That’s why there’s so much pain and suffering in the world.

Well he's right, you can't say God does not exist just because you never go to Him...this applies to our lives too, when someone hand you a helping hand, you must reach for it as well...just find this is very meaningful to me somehow...
