Story Story: The law of demand and supply

 Tarnia went to heaven and noticed that it was beautiful but empty. Heaven had many mansions, but they had no owners.

Why? Tarnia wondered. Was it because the hands of the Lord was so short that He could not save more souls? This seriously puzzled Tarnia. Perhaps, she would ask the Lord about it the next time she met with Him. She hoped He would give her a good answer to her question.

The angels suddenly sang, and Tarnia could feel the presence of the Lord draw near.

""Lord Jesus," Tarnia whispered as Jesus came towards her.

"Tarnia,"the Lord replied, his eyes full of love and affection.

"Why? Why is heaven so empty?" Tarnia asked.

The Lord was silent. Tarnia thought she saw a look of sadness in His beautiful eyes.

"That is because of the law of demand and supply. There are few demands for lost souls. Therefore, heaven cannot supply. Prayers centered on personal needs and wants. People ask me for things, but they only ask me for what they need and want. Therefore, I cannot supply." Jesus replied. Tears rained down His eyes!

"Oh Lord, how we had sinned!" Tarnia cried.

"It is not too late. I am sending you back to tell my people their errors!" The Lord replied.

Tarnia awoke. So, it was a dream! But she could remember what she had seen, the empty heaven, the Lord's sad face.

I will be your spokesman. Tarnia took up her pen.
