A WONDERFUL STORY , I READ THIS SOME WHERE...
Trust
"A man
just got married & was returning home with his wife. They were crossing a
lake in a boat when suddenly a great storm arose. The man was a warrior, but
the woman became very much afraid because it seemed almost hopeless -- THE BOAT
WAS SMALL & THE STORM WAS REALLY HUGE, AND ANY MOMENT THEY WERE GOING TO BE
DROWNED. But the man sat silently, calm & quiet, as if nothing was
happening.
The woman was trembling & she said, "Are you not afraid? This may be our last moment of life! IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO REACH THE OTHER SHORE. Only some miracle can save us, otherwise death is certain. Are you not afraid? Are you mad or something? Are you a stone or something?"
THE MAN LAUGHED & TOOK THE SWORD OUT OF ITS SHEATH. The woman was even more puzzled -- what he is doing? Then he brought the naked sword close to the woman's neck -- so close that just a small gap was there, it was almost touching her neck.
He said, "ARE YOU AFRAID?"
She started to giggle and laugh & said, "WHY SHOULD I BE AFRAID? If the sword is in your hands, why should I be afraid? I know you love me."
He put the sword back & said,

"This
is my answer. I know God loves me, & the sword is in His hands, & the
storm is in His hands -- so WHATSOEVER IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS GOING TO BE GOOD.
If we survive, good; if we don't survive, good -- because EVERYTHING IS IN HIS
HANDS, AND HE CANNOT DO ANYTHING WRONG."
This is the trust one needs to imbibe. SUCH TREMENDOUS TRUST IS CAPABLE OF TRANSFORMING YOUR WHOLE LIFE! And ONLY such tremendous trust is capable of transforming your life -- less than that won't do.
