Genuine Trust

A little girl and her father were crossing a flimsy,weak bridge.The father was concerned and so said to his daughter,"Sweetheart,please hold on to my hand so that you don't fall into the river." The girl replied,"No, Daddy,you hold my hand." What is the big difference? asked the father. "There is a big difference,Daddy," replied the little girl, "If I hold your hand and something happens to me ,chances are that I may let your hand go.But if you hold my hand,I know for sure that no matter what happens,you will never let my hand go!"

In our relationship with God,the essence of trust is not in its bind,but in its bond. So allow God to hold on to you at all times,and He will never let you go!

THE PRICE TAG WILL BE HIGHER THAN YOU EXPECT

All dreams have a price tag on them, and the cost is almost always higher than a person expects to pay. Never once in my conversations with successful people have I heard the words, " Getting to the top was much easier than I anticipated." Everybody I know who has realized a dream has different war stories to tell. When it comes to achieving dreams ,it's impossible to know the complete cost up front.You will find out what it will be only as you undertake that journey. Actor Paul Hogan,who portrayed the movie character Crocodile Dundee,was once asked how he became successful. I love his answer: " The secret of my success is that bit off more than I could chew and chewed as fast as I could." Dreams don't come cheap and they don't come easy.The bigger the dream,the bigger the price tag. but the secret to paying for your dream is just to keep chewing.
