GOD'S PLAN 4 US

GOD’S PLAN FOR US

Once upon a time three young trees were growing side by side in a huge plantation. With typical youthful enthusiasm, they shared with one another their hopes for life when they reached maturity.

One hoped to be used in the building of some mansion, so that its grain and quality would be admired by the great and the famous.

The second hoped to form the tallest mast in the most beautiful sailing ship, thus gaining full attention as it sailed into any port.

The third hoped to be part of some big public spectacle, well out in the open, so that passer-by would stop and look on in wonder.

The reality for the trees according to the legend was:

-                           The first was cut down and part of it was used to make a trough for animals and it later became a manger in a stable.

-                           The second was cut down, and part of it was used to make a very simple fishing boat that spent a lot of its times tied up on the shores of the Sea of Galilee.

-                           The third was cut down and part of it was used to form the beams of a cross, which was used for crucifixion.

Ø Despite the dreams of each individual tree, God had a personal plan and purpose for each.

Ø The ideal is to be available for God to use me in any way He chooses to establish, to promote and to build up the kingdom of His Son Jesus Christ.
