One girl come to her daddy, complaining bitterly that life was not treating her well. She complained and grumbled and the father carried out the following demonstration for her. He placed three pots on fire and put some water in them to boil. As the water was boiling, he put some garden eggs into the first pot of boiling water, some eggs into the second pot, and some tea into the third pot and boiled them for some minutes.

Then he brought them out and told the girl to touch each of them. She found that the garden egg had gone soft, and that the egg was hard-boiled. He told her to drink a little bit of the tea, she did and said, “This is very nice, but daddy, what are you really talking about?”

The daddy now said, “When the garden egg was going into the water, it was strong and hard but by the time the boiling water dealt with it, it went soft. The egg that slimy and liquid in nature, with a thin outer shell, and was very fragile, became hard inside when it went into the water. And the tea, when it was thrown into the water succeeded in changing the boiling water.

Then he explained to her that the three materials went through the same test and trial. They all went through the same adversity of boiling water but one came out soft, the problem had broken it down.

Another came out hard, the problem had made it hardened, better and terrible inside. But the tea got the better the tea tested. He then asked her the following questions; are you a garden egg, an egg or tea? The girl answered and said, “Thanks you daddy;” and walked away. She then understand that she had to become another person.


A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. Your pains of yesterday, you will remember no more because the Lord will encounter you this month, and you testimony will change in Jesus name.
