TRUSTING THE FATHER
A group of botanist was exploring almost inaccessible regions in search of new species of flowers. One day they spied through binoculars, a flower of great rarity and beauty. It lay in a deep ravine, with perpendicular cliffs a t both sides. To reach it, someone would have to be lowered over the sheer precipice by means of a rope, and it was certainly a very dangerous undertaking.
Approaching a young lad nearby, who was watching them with great curiosity, they said, “We’ll give you twenty dollars if you’ll let us lower you down below to obtain that beautiful rare flower for us.” The young lad took a look away down into the ravine and replied, “Just a minute. I’ll be back.” When he returned he was accompanied by an older man. Approaching one of the botanists, he said, “I’ll go over the cliff and get that flower for you if this man holds the rope. He’s my father.”
v God sent Jesus to tell us to call him “Abba, Daddy.”
v “I will not leave you orphans,” said Jesus. Then he gave His Father and His Mother. However, he went on to tell us that it wouldn’t work unless we became like children.
