I read this one and thought about it.
Hold on...Or let go? You decide...
They tell the story of a mountain climber, who desperately wanted to conquer the Aconcagua,He initiated his climb after years of preparation. However, he wanted the glory all to himself, therefore he went up alone. He started climbing. The later the hour, the darker it became. He did not prepare for camping but decided to keep on going. Night fell with heaviness at a very high altitude;visibility was zero, everything was black.There was no moon and the stars were covered by the clouds. As he was climbing a ridge at about 100 meters from the top, he slipped and fell. Falling rapidly he could only see blotches of darkness that passed.He felt a terrible sensation of being sucked in by gravity. He kept falling,and in those anguishing moments good and bad memories passed through his mind.He thought certainly that he would die.But than 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?OF Course my God",said the climber.Then cut the rope that is holding you up,"God said.There was another moment of silence and stillness.The man just held tighter to the rope The rescue team says that the next day they found a frozen mountain climber holding strongly to the rope TWO FEET FROM THE GROUND!How about you,how trusting are you in the rope?Why didn't or why won"t you let go? I Tell you,God has great and marvelous things for you. Cut the rope and simply trust in Him.Pass it on.
