The Two Boxes

A good friend sent me this, I just had to share 🙂

Once upon a time, God gave one of His Children two boxes to hold – one black and one gold. He said, “Put all your sorrows in the black box, and all your joys into the gold.” His Child followed His Voice, and in the two boxes both their joys and sorrows they stored. But though the gold box became heavier each day, the black box was as light as before. With curiosity, they opened the black box because they wanted to find out why. With amazement they saw, in the base of the black box, a hole which their sorrows had fallen out by. They showed the hole to their Heavenly Father and asked, “Where could my sorrows possibly be?” He smiled a Gentle, Loving, Caring smile and said, “My Child, they’re here with me.” They asked God why He gave them the boxes – why the gold and black with the hole? God responded, “My Child, the gold IS for you to count My Blessings to you – the black IS for you to let go!”

Truly, only your Father IS able to place a hole in your box of sorrows. Only He IS able to take your sorrows from you – to make your burdens light. God makes His Promise to you that He IS Willing to take ALL that you have in your black box – your fears, your worries, EVERYTHING that the world attempts to crush you with! Do NOT hesitate to take Him up on His Offer – to Redeem and Refresh you! No ocean can hold it back. No river can overtake it. No whirlwind can go faster. No army can defeat it. No law can stop it. No distance can slow it. No disease or health issue can cripple it. No force on earth IS more Powerful or Effective – than the Power of Prayer!!

My thoughts and prayers are that you follow His Voice – let go and let God! That you go to Him in fervent prayer – asking Him to send His Helper, His Holy Spirit – to guide you towards Him for an Intimate Relationship, now and forever. That you share Him with others! In Jesus’ Name. Thy Will be done. Amen. Peace.
