Let me add a little bit to the story. "A rope-walker was showing his tricks to people and people were amazed to see his tricks. The rope-walker was highly skilled and supremely confident of his art and all his performances were flawless. Once after doing one round of of his trick, he asked the onlookers if someone wanted to give him company during the performance. People were scared. The ropewalker told that he would carry the person on his back and there was nothing to be afraid of. Though people had witnessed his ability, it was not easy for them to trust him with their lives. No one came forward. He made several pleas, yet no one could muster enough courage. After some time, a small child came running and jumped on the back of the ropewalker. The ropewalker took that boy on his back from one end of the rope to another and everybody clapped. The child came down. People surrounded the boy and started asking him if he was afraid anytime during the performance. The boy replied - "I was never afraid because the rope-walker is my father". Do you see something more than obvious fact in that sentence? In most profound sense, God is like our father and we need to trust him in difficult times, in tough times and in testing times. However, even though we witness several events whereby God shows his skills, his ability to guide people sail across difficulties; we fail to gather enough courage to trust him completely during our crisis. Amazing isn't it?
