Brenda was almost halfway to the top of the tremendous
granite cliff. She was standing on a ledge
where she was taking a breather during this, her first rock
climb. As she rested
there, the safety rope snapped against her eye and knocked
out her contact
lens. Great, she thought. Here I am on a
rock ledge, hundreds
of feet from the bottom and hundreds of feet to the top of
this cliff, and now
my sight is blurry. *

She looked and looked, hoping that somehow
it had landed on the ledge. But it just wasn't there.
She felt the panic rising in her, so she began praying. She
prayed for calm,
and she prayed that she may find her contact lens.
When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her
clothing for the
lens, but it was not to be found. Although she was calm now
that she was at the
top, she was saddened because she could not clearly see
across the range of
mountains. *

She thought of the bible verse The eyes of
the Lord run to and
fro throughout the whole earth.
She thought, Lord, You can see all these mountains.
You know every stone
and leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens is.
Please help me.
Later, when they had hiked down the trail to the bottom of
the cliff they met
another party of climbers just starting up the face of the
cliff. One of them
shouted out, Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact
lens? *

Well, that would be startling enough, but
you know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving slowly
across a twig on the
face of the rock, carrying it!
The story doesn't end there. Brenda's father is a
cartoonist. When she told him
the incredible story of the ant, the prayer, and the
contact lens, he drew a
cartoon of an ant lugging that contact lens with the
caption, Lord, I
don't know why You want me to carry this thing. I
can't eat it, and it's
awfully heavy. But if this is what You want me to do,
I'll carry it for
You. *

I think it would do all of us some good to say, God,
I don't know why You want me to carry this load. I can
see no
good in it and it's awfully heavy. But, if You want me
to carry it, I
will.
God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the
called.
Yes, I do love GOD. He is my source of existence and my
Savior. He keeps
me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I am
nothing, but with Him....I
can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.
(Phil. 4:13) *

It made me 
too sisi. Vry meaningful story. I remember a song...
He pay the debt, He did not owe.
We owe the debt ,we could not pay.
Christ Jesus pay the debt, that we could never pay. 
.
Jesus carry d heavy load (sin) of d whole world but yet He never complain, instead what He prayed I want ur will, not mine.
MARK 14:36
Sometimes we wonder why God allow us to carry such heavy load dat we cud not almost bear, and in our own naked eyes d outcome is negative but in God's eyes it wil benefit us and 4 our own good.
