You have a wonderful gift of encouragement my brother, it is so refreshing to read your notes, they are like a a breath of fresh air that brings a refreshig to the soul.
A fox who lived in the deep forest of long ago had lost its front legs. No one knew how: perhaps escaping from a trap. A man who lived on the edge of the forest , seeing the fox from time to time, wondered how in the world it managed to get its food. One day when the fox was not far from him he had to hide himself quickly because a tiger was approaching. The tiger had fresh game in its claws. Lying down on the ground, it ate its fill, leaving the rest for the fox.
Again the next day the great Provider of this world sent provisions to the fox by this same tiger. The man began to think: "If this fox is taken care of in this mysterious way, its food sent by some unseen Higher Power, why don't I just rest in a corner and have my daily meal provided for me?"
Because he had a lot of faith, he let the days pass, waiting for food. Nothing happened. He just went on losing weight and strength until he was nearly a skeleton. Close to losing consciousness, he heard a Voice which said: "O you, who have mistaken the way, see now the Truth! You should have followed the example of that tiger instead of imitating the disabled fox."
Reflection Questions
In what ways do you feel like the disabled fox?
In what ways do you feel like the tiger?
Who is the "Voice" in this story?
Is it okay for the disabled fox to continue living, or would it be better off either dead or never alive in the first place?
Are there any people in your life who are like the disabled fox, but you wish they were more like the tiger?
From heaven's orchestra, this song alights On ears unable to hear and discern A perfect harmony so full of life Bids me to leave my discord and return
Of every symphony that I have heard None can compare to pure angelic song All others that I hear are so I've learned A clanging cymbal or resounding gong
This love I know, this love I know
And oh, the sense of worth, I now belong To choruses far greater than my own I join in with the angel's perfect song This love I've only heard has now been shown
He paid a price I could not pay He sacrificed His life away Forgiven, I will stand and say Oh God, my God, I'll bring you praise!
This love that brings me through this life of pain Allows the deaf to hear and sing again This love that brings me through this life of pain Allows the deaf to hear and sing again
You my brother have the heart of God, because you have the gift of encouragement. I just read your word about being a bounce back person to my wife who has been dealing with a chronic pain problem that she is so frustrated with because the doctors do not know the source of it and the medication is not working.
I know the grace of God in my own life dealing with a chronic pain condition also which makes my heart go out to my wife. Please pray for God to bring her relief from this condition so she can do the work God has given her to do.
Dear brother do not let anyone despise your youth and make you feel that because you are young that you can not be a conduit for God to bring healing and hope to those who are struggling.
You can know for sure that the words that you have sent to me over the last couple of months are truly words from the Holy Spirit. It was yesterday that God began to open doors of ministry for me, not just one but three. I praise God for you, a dear brother that one day in the kingdom I will meet face to face and in that day we shall rejoice before our wonderful Lord and savior Jesus Christ, amen!
Amen! I do Agree with Pastor Bob:) Do not let anyone despise your youth and make you feel that because you are young that you can not be a conduit for God to bring healing and hope to those who are struggling.
You can know for sure that the words that you have sent to me over the last couple of months are truly words from the Holy Spirit.
I just want you to know and I believed you already know :) hehehe.. that you are such a blessing to so many people.. and that through your willing obedience to God, people are being reached out and blessed and are being taken out of darkness into God's marvelous light. Amen. Praise and glory to God.

Aww, thanks for the flowers. I really like purple flowers and love butterflys. It reminds me of the butterfly/s God sent on me awhile back (one on my sweater, one flew on my shoe-don't know if it was the same one).
