JUST IMAGINE...

Believing What You Can't See.... (a story)


Some people say that believing what you can't see is hard.
That's part of what faith is. The other part is trusting God.
But for some, they just can't get past the not seeing it part. Smile.
So my goal is to try to make it easier for you to understand this in a practical
sense.
Imagine that there is a huge tree that falls across the road and you need to get past
it. This tree has your street blocked off and you need to drive your car to work, to get food and water and you have important appointments. At this point, all you know to do is to pray and ask God to send help, send some angels and you just have to trust Him to do this.

Right after your prayer you begin to know that things are going to be alright and you give thanks before anything happens! Now that's faith!

You have an ax but you don't have any other equipment except for a small wheelbarrow. You call for help and they say they can come in a week. So at that point you realize that God will have to fix it because you can't do it by yourself. You know you're getting out because you have to. So you go out to the tree with the ax and begin to chop it up in little pieces at a time. Then you pile them in your wheelbarrow and dump them in a pile on the curb. You keep doing this going back and forth and pretty soon you are joined by some of your neighbors; one by one they come out to help.

Next, out of the blue a man in a truck stops to help who lives on the next block. He calls his friend who has a tree shredder service who agrees to come and keeps his word. It turns into one big party and you meet neighbors that you never knew. In less than three hours; the tree is gone and the problem is gone! What a Blessing!
