In the Grip of a Hand

Once upon a time there was a little girl was walking with her father. When he was going to cross a bridge over the river, the flow was very swift, the father was afraid that his daughter would fall, so he said to the princess "Honey, hold my hand tightly, so you don't fall into the river." The little girl said, "No, I'll just hold my hand." "What's the difference, honey?" asked the father. "It's very different, Dad. If I hold your hand, if something happens to me, there's a high probability that I will let go of my hand. But if you hold my hand, surely you won't let my hand get out of your grasp.

REFLECTION Our lives are full of many challenges, like fast flowing water, once we fall, we are carried away by the flow of life. Into the hands of whom we trust our lives? HE, the God who created us, who has our lives is the "HAND" we should believe to hold our hands. HE will not let us fall. Even if we fall, HIS HAND will embrace us again so that we do not drift into the flow of life.
