Read about how God sees us as his sons/princesses. Like a passionate father, he cares. Illustration in this small story. Enjoy
Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage?
His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him
alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not
remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through
it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night,
he is a MAN.
He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad
must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He
can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around
him. Maybe even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the grass
and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing
the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man!
Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his
blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the
stump next to him. He had been at watch the entire night, protecting
his son from harm. We, too, are never alone. Even when we don't know
it, God is watching over us, sitting on the stump beside us. When
trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him.
Moral of the story: Just because you can't see God, doesn't mean He is not there.
