Trust...

A man just got married and was returning
home with his wife. They were crossing a lake in
a boat when suddenly a great storm arose. The
man was a warrior, but the woman became very
much afraid because it seemed almost hopeless
-- THE BOAT WAS SMALL AND THE STORM
WAS REALLY HUGE, AND ANY MOMENT THEY
WERE GOING TO BE DROWNED. But the man sat
silently, calm and quiet, as if nothing was
happening.
The woman was trembling and she said, "Are
you not afraid? This may be our last moment of
life! IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT WE WILL BE ABLE
TO REACH THE OTHER SHORE. Only some
miracle can save us, otherwise death is certain.
Are you not afraid? Are you mad or something?
Are you a stone or something?"
THE MAN LAUGHED AND TOOK THE SWORD
OUT OF ITS SHEATH. The woman was even
more puzzled -- what he is doing? Then he
brought the naked sword close to the woman's
neck -- so close that just a small gap was there,
it was almost touching her neck.
He said, "ARE YOU AFRAID?"
She started to giggle and laugh and said, "WHY
SHOULD I BE AFRAID? If the sword is in your
hands, why should I be afraid? I know you love
me."
He put the sword back and said, "This is my
answer. I know God loves me, and the sword is
in His hands, and the storm is in His hands --
so WHATSOEVER IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS
GOING TO BE GOOD. If we survive, good; if we
don't survive, good -- because EVERYTHING IS
IN HIS HANDS, AND HE CANNOT DO ANYTHING
WRONG."
This is the trust one needs to imbibe. SUCH
TREMENDOUS TRUST IS CAPABLE OF
TRANSFORMING YOUR WHOLE LIFE! And ONLY
such tremendous trust is capable of
transforming your life -- less than that won't
do."
