The Rope

  The story tells about a mountain climber, who wanted to climb the highest mountain. He began his adventure after many years of preparation, but since he wanted the glory just for himself, he decided to climb the mountains alone.

The night bell heavily in the heights of the mountain, and the man could not see anything. All was black. Zero visibility, and the moon and the stars were covered by the clouds.

As he was climbing, only a few beets away from the top of the mountain, he slipped and fell into the air. Falling at a great speed the climber could only see black spots    as he went down, and the terrible sensation of being sucked by gravity.

He kept balling … and in those moments of great bear, it came to his mind all the good and bad episodes of his life.

He was thinking now about how close death was getting, when all of a sudden he felt the rope tied to pull his waist and pulled him very hard. His body was hanging in the air … only the rope was holding him. And in that moment of stillness he had no other choice but to scream: "Help me God!"

All of a sudden, a deep voice coming from the sky answered:" What do you want me to do?"

"Save me God"

"Do you really think I can save you?"

"Of course I believe you can."

 "Then cut the rope tied to your waist…"
There was a moment of silence… and the man decided to hold on the rope with all his strength.

The rescue team tells that the next day a climber was found dead and frozen. His body hanging from a rope, his hands holding tight to it, only three feet away from the ground.

And you?  How attached are you to your rope? Will you let it go? Don't ever doubt one thing from God. You never should say that He has forgotten or abandoned you. Don't ever think that He dose not take care of you.

Remember that He is always holding you with His right hand.
