The following story really happened at the park one thursday afternoon. :)
There was this little kid who was trying out the monkey bars.
He was so egar and excited, he looked like he could do it.
but he couldn't do it..
So he called out to his daddy, and his dad held him up and said,
"wow son! look at you go! Your doing great!"
He was so proud of himself.. hehe.. he beamed :)
his dad was so proud of him too.. it was a precious father son moment.
But in reality, the kid couldn't do it without his dad.
Then another hopeful kid came over.
He was trying to do it.. but like the first one, he couldn't.
But his dad was there this time.
He said, "Son do you need a little help?"
he replied, "NO dad! I can do it! okay??"
So his dad just shrugged, and said, "Okay.. go ahead,
just let me know when you need me."
and stepped back.
The kid tried again and again, but he always fell.
He cried a lot..
But whenever his dad tried again and said,
"do you need help buddy?"
He faithfully said, "NO DAD! I got this!"
Finally, when he really couldn't do it, his dad stepped
in and asked,"do you need help now?"
and he replied,"yes daddy.. I need help."
I just sat there watching.. I wondered..
isn't this the way we live all the time?
our heavenly "daddy" says,"buddy do you need help?"
and almost automaticly we say,"no dad! I got this!"
So as you can see, from both pictures each one couldn't do it..
but each one had a -choice- for help.
So really, what we need, is to understand one thing:
that we can't do it alone. We needs our heavenly "daddy"
by our side in hard times.. because in the end, he carries us.
We just have to pray, that we will never take our focus off him,
and remember that hes always there to help you across the hard times.
Sometimes we need to see (especially myself),
that God can only change people.. we can't.
because in the long run. We wont be the ones helping
them across the monkey bars. <3
