Once there was a sculptor who was carving a statue of God from a huge stone.
He worked day and night, but every time, the stone broke.
He tried three times — and failed all three.
Tired and disappointed, he said,
“Maybe this statue is not meant to be made.”
He put down his tools and walked away.
But his little son looked at the half-broken stone and said,
“Father, try one last time. Maybe this stone is the one that will fulfill your dream.”
The old sculptor smiled and began again.
This time, he worked with patience, love, and complete focus.
Slowly, from that same stone, a beautiful statue of God emerged.
The sculptor replied,
“Not a miracle… it’s the result of my last effort.”
