Scars in Your Life :

On a hot summer day, A little boy and his mother were inside a lake house. The little boy decided to go for a swim in the lake behind his house. Boy was really excited to go into the lake and swim in the cool lake so he just ran out.

The boy went into the lake and swam far without realizing that he swan right into the middle of that lake. Boy’s mother looked out of the window and saw an alligator approaching his son.

As she saw both of them getting closer to each other, she ran toward the little boy and yelled as loud as she could. She shouted about the alligator approaching him and asked him to swim back toward the house.

Hearing the voice of his mother, the boy got alarmed and made a U-turn to swim towards his mother but it was too late. Just as mother reached her little boy and grabbed his arm, at the same moment alligator snatched on his legs.

That began a tug war between the two. Alligator was too strong but the mother was too passionate to let her son go.

At the same time, a farmer happens to pass by and heard the scream of a little boy and his mother. Farmer raced toward the lake and took his aim at the alligator and shot him.

Remarkable, after getting treated for weeks in hospital boy survived.

A newspaper reporter came to interview the boy after the incident and asked him about the incident. The boy lifted his pants from his legs which were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal.

But then, with pride, he said to reporters, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms too.”

Newspaper reporter, “Why these scars are great??”

The boy replied, “I have these scars on my arm because my mom wouldn’t let go..”

Moral of the story :

Similarly in our Life, we have Scars from a painful past. Sometimes, we foolishly made it into difficult situations and we forget that the enemy is waiting. 

That’s when the Tug of war begins Between Life and God. That’s why Some wounds we have because God wouldn’t let go. We should be very grateful to God for being there with us.
