An old Chinese parable tells of a young man that inherited a beautifully crafted pot. He thought the pot was the most gorgeous thing he had ever received and proceeded to show it off to his friends and neighbors. Much time passed and the pot just sat on a shelf collecting dust, no longer as important as when he first saw it. Years later the young man died poor. He never knew that the pot was filled with gold pieces. It’s not how you look on the outside, it’s whats on the inside that truly gives you value. Look in the pot.
Crutches
A small boy and his mother where doing some grocery shopping at the local market when the boy made an observation. He saw a gentleman walking normally, yet leaning on a set of crutches as well. “Mommy, why is that man using those things, nothings wrong with him.” His mother replied, “Tommy, sometimes people are not strong enough to stand and just need something to lean on.” My question to you is, are you leaning on something or are you standing on your faith? Sometimes crutches are necessary for healing to take place, sometimes they impede it. Stand today.
