There was once a man who fell off the side of a cliff and as he sailed through the air somehow managed to grasp a protruding branch. He looked up and there was no way to climb the hundred or so feet back. He looked down a thousand feet and could see no way there either.

He thought, "I guess this is a good time to talk to God."

He called, "Is there anyone up there?"

A voice returned, "Yes."

"Are you God?"

The voice replied, "Yes."

"Can you help me?" the man asked.

"Yes," came the reply.

"Well, what happens now?", the desperate man asked.

"Firstly, do you trust me?", God asked.

"Yes, sure", said the man.

God answered, "let go of the branch."

The man looked up into the heavens and shouted, "Anyone else up there?"

*Above illustration is quoted from the book "Faith" by Dr Phil Pringle.

After I read this, I realized I am in a situation like that guy in the illustration. I am at a point after holding or letting go of the branch. To me, this is really a great test, and the thoughts of failing this test has haunted me for a period of time. Sometimes, it come to a point where I asked God, "Why do You always pick on my weakest point?", I mean if the test is not in this area of mine, I am sure I won't suffer as much.. like what I said, won't suffer as much, I guess this is the area where God wants me to change. Showing me the reward and telling me the reward is not to be claimed now is like telling a dying patient that he can be healed but not the right time.

Taking the first step of letting go of the protruding branch seems so tough for me, really hard. But I am trying to trust in Him more than the things that I see in my naked eyes. I realized I have indeed made a mistake, I sought for the gift more than the Giver at one point. I repented, I gave up struggling, I'll let God do whatever He wants me to do. Hard as it may be, I believe I can do it.

"If you don't get your mind, your mind will get you." Phil Pringle.

I'm thankful to God for everything, to make me see that I've a problem, and i need to overcome it. I believe with all my heart, I will emerge stronger and bigger than my problem. Thank God for friends and members who are always there for me, encouraging words and quality fellowships have really pushed me on.

"God looks beyond our problems to see our needs." Sy Rogers.

If it is in the will of God, it will surely come to past in due season.
