There was once a climber, who thought he could do
everything by himself. He decided to go mountain climbing one day. The mountain
was higher than he thought it was, so it was getting kind of dark, until the
point where he couldn't see anything. The mountain was slippery and full of
snow. It was so cold.
When he was about to reach the top, his hand slipped and
he fell. As he was falling, he grabbed on to the rope and he was hanging from
the rope.
All of a sudden, a blazing light appeared, it was God. The climber
was telling God to help him. The Lord asked the climber if he believe in Him,
and the climber said, “Of course, I do, so help me”.
The Lord asked him again,
“Do you trust me?” The climber nodded “yes”. So the Lord said : "If you do
trust me, let go of the rope."
The climber looked confused, and he even held the rope
tighter. Then the Lord said, “Very well”, and He disappeared.
The next day, the
park rangers found a climber hugging a rope two feet away from the ground.
Trust is not an easy thing to practice especially in times of crisis
ReplyDeleteVery good analogy. So true. It's hard to let go of that rope, isn't it?
