Indeed, with a difficulty, there is a convenience.
One upon a time, at the field, there is a shady tree. Its branch has dense foliage. High-rise stem. Its Root appears prominent out, to penetrate in the soil. That tree, looks stout than other trees in the surrounding areas.
That tree, be a place for some birds living there. They make a nest, and their life dependent on its stem-stem. The birds make a hole, and They egg-brood their eggs in trees that greatness. The Tree feels in happiness, Its get it friends, day-time fill the day long. People are also grateful to the existence of the tree is up. They often stop by, and take shelter in the tree leafy. The people often sit, eat and open their stock, under the auspices of limb-limb. "This Tree is very useful," said them, while each other finished their haven. Again, the tree is also proud to hear the words of yesteryear.
However, the running time, The tree was started ill-weakly. Its Leaf-leaf deciduous, the branches began to fall also. Its Body, starting now lean and pale. No more bravery that its has before. The birds are reluctant to start a nest there. People through, no longer want to stop by and drop haven.
The tree was heavy, "My Lord, why so many tests that You give to me? I need a friend. There is no longer living creatures closing to me. Why You take all the glory that I have?" the wail of the tree, to be to the entire forest. "Why do not You cut me down to my body, so I do not need to feel this punishment? The tree continues to cry, over the body dry.
Season has changed, but the situation would not change. The tree remains in a its lonely. Appear to stem more dry. Continue to weep and wail sounded every night, filling the night-silent night long. Up to at the time of the morning.
"Cittt ... cericirit ... cittt" Ah, what's that sound? In fact,. Cheever have a new hatch. The tree has weke in its subside. "Cittt ... cericirit ... cittt, the sound is loud scream. There is a new birds child birth. And than, a crowds at tree above the birth of new birds. One ... two ... three ... and four children born to the bird world. "Ah, My pray on Him get rights," has been an exclamation of the tree.
The next day, many birds fly to the tree is. They will make a new nest-nest. In fact, a stick of dry, invite the certain types of birds attracted to a nest like there. Birds that feel warm in the dry stem, rather than before. The amount is also more and more diverse. "Ah, now my day will be increasingly bright with these birds," said the tree with brightly.
The tree was again rejoice. And when It see to down, his heart again upset. There is a new shoots that appear near the root. The bud looks smiley. Ah, it seems, its tears, the old tree, produce new seeds that will continue its service in nature.

*Sesungguhnya bersama suatu kesulitan itu terdapat suatu kemudahan.
Suatu ketika, di sebuah padang, tersebutlah sebatang pohon rindang. Dahannya rimbun dengan dedaunan. Batangnya tinggi menjulang. Akarnya, tampak menonjol keluar, menembus tanah hingga dalam. Pohon itu, tampak gagah di banding dengan pohon-pohon lain di sekitarnya.
Pohon itupun, menjadi tempat hidup bagi beberapa burung disana. Mereka membuat sarang, dan bergantung hidup pada batang-batangnya. Burung-burung itu membuat lubang, dan mengerami telur-telur mereka dalam kebesaran pohon itu. Pohon itupun merasa senang, mendapatkan teman, saat mengisi hari-harinya yang panjang. Orang-orang pun bersyukur atas keberadaan pohon tersebut. Mereka kerap singgah, dan berteduh pada kerindangan pohon itu. Orang-orang itu sering duduk, dan membuka bekal makan, di bawah naungan dahan-dahan. "Pohon yang sangat berguna," begitu ujar mereka setiap selesai berteduh. Lagi-lagi, sang pohon pun bangga mendengar perkataan tadi.
Namun, waktu terus berjalan. Sang pohon pun mulai sakit-sakitan. Daun-daunnya rontok, ranting-rantingnya pun mulai berjatuhan. Tubuhnya, kini mulai kurus dan pucat. Tak ada lagi kegagahan yang dulu di milikinya. Burung-burung pun mulai enggan bersarang disana. Orang yang lewat, tak lagi mau mampir dan singgah untuk berteduh.
Sang pohon pun bersedih. "Ya Tuhan, mengapa begitu berat ujian yang Kau berikan padaku? Aku butuh teman. Tak ada lagi yang mau mendekatiku. Mengapa Kau ambil semua kemuliaan yang pernah aku miliki?" begitu ratap sang pohon, hingga terdengar ke seluruh hutan. "Mengapa tak Kau tumbangkan saja tubuhku, agar aku tak perlu merasakan siksaan ini? Sang pohon terus menangis, membasahi tubuhnya yang kering.
Musim telah berganti, namun keadaan belumlah mau berubah. Sang pohon tetap kesepian dalam kesendiriannya. Batangnya tampak semakin kering. Ratap dan tangis terus terdengar setiap malam, mengisi malam-malam hening yang panjang. Hingga pada saat pagi menjelang.
"Cittt...cericirit...cittt" Ah suara apa itu? Ternyata, .ada seekor anak burung yang baru menetas. Sang pohon terhenyak dalam lamunannya. "Cittt...cericirit...cittt, suara itu makin keras melengking. Ada lagi anak burung yang baru lahir. Lama kemudian, riuhlah pohon itu atas kelahiran burung-burung baru. Satu...dua...tiga...dan empat anak burung lahir ke dunia. "Ah, doaku di jawab-Nya," begitu seru sang pohon.
Keesokan harinya, beterbanganlah banyak burung ke arah pohon itu. Mereka, akan membuat sarang-sarang baru. Ternyata, batang kayu yang kering, mengundang burung dengan jenis tertentu tertarik untuk mau bersarang disana. Burung-burung itu merasa lebih hangat berada di dalam batang yang kering, ketimbang sebelumnya. Jumlahnya pun lebih banyak dan lebih beragam. "Ah, kini hariku makin cerah bersama burung-burung ini", gumam sang pohon dengan berbinar.
Sang pohon pun kembali bergembira. Dan ketika dilihatnya ke bawah, hatinya kembali membuncah. Ada sebatang tunas baru yang muncul di dekat akarnya. Sang Tunas tampak tersenyum. Ah, rupanya, airmata sang pohon tua itu, membuahkan bibit baru yang akan melanjutkan pengabdiannya pada alam.

Teman, begitulah. Adakah hikmah yang dapat kita petik disana? Allah memang selalu punya rencana-rencana rahasia buat kita. Allah, dengan kuasa yang Maha Tinggi dan Maha Mulia, akan selalu memberikan jawaban-jawaban buat kita. Walaupun kadang penyelesaiannya tak selalu mudah di tebak, namun, yakinlah, Allah Maha Tahu yang terbaik buat kita. Saat dititipkan-Nya cobaan buat kita, maka di saat lain, diberikan-Nya kita karunia yang berlimpah. Ujian yang sandingkan-Nya, bukanlah harga mati. Bukanlah suatu hal yang tak dapat disiasati. Saat Allah memberikan cobaan pada sang Pohon, maka, sesungguhnya Allah, sedang MENUNDA memberikan kemuliaan-Nya. Allah tidak memilih untuk menumbangkannya, sebab, Dia menyimpan sejumlah rahasia. Allah, sedang menguji kesabaran yang dimiliki.
Teman, yakinlah, apapun cobaan yang kita hadapi, adalah bagian dari rangkaian kemuliaan yang sedang dipersiapkan-Nya buat kita. Jangan putus asa, jangan lemah hati. Allah, selalu bersama orang-orang yang sabar.
Terima kasih telah membaca.
