Inspiration For The week



Saw this and I just thought I should share it with you my Blog Hearts;
A father takes his son into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone. He is required to sit on stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anybody. Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be around him. Maybe even some human might want to do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically. He never removed the blindfold. It was the only way he could become a man. Finally after a horrific night, the sun appeared and he removed the blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him. He had been at watch the whole night, protecting his son from harm.
We too, are never alone. Even when we don’t know it, God is watching over us, sitting on the stump beside us. When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to him.
Moral of the story: Just because we don’t see God, doesn't mean he is not there. “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”
Have a great week ahead.
