3 trees

I'm begining to be EMO again. Why? cause after watching August Rush, I cant help but have the song kept going through my head and the song's lyrics are so emo. So much about love and finding the one you love. And the actors are so good at expressing the hurt they are going through. With Keri Russell as the lead actress, I liked the show even more cause she is so pretty!

But anyway, today, I just want to journal this down cause I read it off another journal and I felt that this simple story tells me that my dreams and perspective might not be the same as God's and though in the eyes of others it may seem to be the worse ending, it might be the greatest thing that might just be happening to you.

3 Trees.

Once there were 3 trees growing up together in a forest. Over the years the trees grew up to be tall and strong trees, towering over the all the other trees in the forest.

So one day they shared with one another about what they dreamt to become in the future.

The first tree said, " I want to be the biggest treasure chest in the world. Where lots of gold and silver and precious stones are kept in."

The second tree said, " I want to be the grandest ship in the world. Where kings and nobles travel in around the world.

The third tree said, " I want to become the tallest structure in the world. I want to close the gap between heaven and earth."

All of them had great dreams and ambitions but as the wood cutter came, he chopped them all down and sold them to be made.

The first tree was made into a manger to hold foul smelling pig's food. But on a certain special day, it held baby Jesus when there were no other place for Him to be laid upon.

The second tree was made into a fishing boat to endure tough seas and holding loads after loads of smelly fishes but Chirst sailed in this very boat with His disciples.

The third tree was made into a cross where criminals were crucifed as a punishment but this very cross held Jesus till He breathe his very last breath.

All the trees became what they desired to be. Not in the way the world see it to be.

The first tree held the precious Lord Jesus. More prescious than that of Gold or Silver or stones that could ever be found.

The second tree had the Kings of Kings and the Lord of Lords sailed in it with the disciples of Jesus. Now that is better that the Kings and nobles of this world.

And the third tree that wanted to be the tallest of all to close the gap between heaven and earth, became the cross where Christ died, Whose death saved the entire world and became the way to Heaven. Closing the gap between heaven and earth

So no matter what your dreams may be, your life may not seem to be like it till you see it as God does. His plans are good and perfect. He will never short change you, He will provide for all your need.
