Absolute Surrender!!!
This is the story of a mountain climber, who, desperate to conquer the Everest, initiated his climb after years of preparation. But he wanted the glory to himself, therefore, he went up alone.
He started climbing and it was becoming late, and later. He did not prepare for camping but decided to keep on going. Soon it got dark. Night fell with heaviness at such high altitude and there was zero visibility. Everything was black, no moon, and the stars were covered by clouds.
As he was climbing a ridge at about 100 meters from the top, he slipped and fell…falling rapidly and could only see blotches of darkness that passed in the same darkness and a terrible sensation of being suctioned by gravity. He kept falling .. and in those anguishing moments good and bad memories passed through his mind. He thought he would die.
Nevertheless, he felt a jolt that almost tore him in half…Yes! Like any good mountain climber he had staked himself with a long rope tied to his waist. In those moments of stillness, suspended in the air he had no other choice but to shout,”Help me God,” “Help me!”
All of a sudden he heard a deep voice from heaven…”What do you want me to do?”
“Save me.”
“Do you really think that I can save you?”
“Of course, my God.”
“Then cut the rope that is holding you up.”
There was another moment of silence and stillness. Why should he trust the Almighty God and cut the rope at His Word? The man held tighter to the rope. The rescue team says that the next day they found, a frozen mountain climber hanging strongly to a rope……two feet off the ground!!!
How about us? How trusting are we in that rope? Why don’t we let it go? Let it go!!! God has great and marvelous things for us.
Faith is seeing with the eyes of the heart. The man of faith knows that whosoever surrenders himself to the Lord is always taken care of. The lord provides where He guides. And His ways are most mysterious.
Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, and faith looks up…
Cut the rope of doubt
and simply trust Him…
Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death…
