There is a story of a farmer who decides to see for how long he could carry a young calf around. So every day he would pick it up the calf and carry it around the farmyard. Well the calf grew bigger he grew stronger and never really noticed the change in weight. Soon people we amazed at how this farmer was able to carry such a large calf. Many tried to pick up the calf but found it to be heavy.
But you see my gospel today it doesn’t tell me what the farmer had to go through for him to end up carrying such a big calf. No! It tells me about the results not the process. Looks familiar?
So we have reached a point where people have substituted laziness with faith.
I believe the Devil took a temporary leave and say, “Well He is dead…” but unfortunately the Devil didn’t know He will conquer death. What do you do when all you could do is to surrender your life to God? You out of option, basically you dead walking; your goals, career, school and so on isn’t working well and your life is just in silence? Well my answer is carry you calf they might think you crazy and you out of your mind and trust God that all things works for good to those who trust in Him. Never lose hope! Never lose hope!
They might laugh and say well your marriage is dead, your career and so on but I say to you be like that farmer. Carries your calf (the word of God) every day and you will come out strong like never before. If He can allow you to go through the cross surely He will see you through and you will come out of it alive and strong.
We hate it if some area in our life becomes dead but people love it when some part of our life becomes dead
There is one thing that Jesus did in His darkest moment, He surrendered (“I lay my life unto your hands…”) To God well we have to do the same thing. Instead of praying about the problems we have let’s ask God the solution to our problems. Often time we become the solution to our problem.
Like a kid who has a candy in his hand and yet he cries to her mom, “I need a candy mommy!!” well you may ask why is he crying if he has a candy in his hand? Maybe he doesn’t know in that package there is a candy, or perhaps this package is too complex to depict if inside they is a candy or even worse he never saw it before. So he needs someone who is experienced enough to tell him,” son!! There is a candy in your hand all you have to do is to open it.”
We too at times we have candies that are packaged in a complex form or we never seen before (problems we face in our daily lives). They are not like any regular package we tend to find candy in them. So we need to ask if we can be a solution rather than asking for another candy while we might have one already. And God often times He is way experience to know any kind of a candy (challenges we face) package we come across.
