Cut The Rope
They tell the story of a mountain climber, who
desperate to conquer the Aconcagua, initiated his climb after years
of preparation. But he wanted the glory to himself, therefore, he
went up alone. He started climbing and it was becoming later, and
later. He did not prepare for camping but decided to keep on going.
Soon it got dark...
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 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 he would die. But then 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?"
"SAVE ME"
"Do you REALLY think I can save you?"
"OF COURSE, MY GOD"
"Then cut the rope that is holding you up."
There was another moment of silence and stillness.
The man held on
tighter to the rope.
The rescue team says that the next day they found a frozen mountain climber
hanging strongly to a rope...
TWO FEET OFF THE GROUND.
How about you? How trusting are you in that rope? Why don't you let
it go?
I tell you, God has great and marvelous things for you,
CUT THE ROPE AND SIMPLY TRUST IN HIM...
