day in south Florida, a little boy decided
to go for a swim in the old swimming hole
behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the
cool water, he ran out the back door, leaving
behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went.
He flew into the water, not realizing that as
he swam toward the middle of the lake, an
alligator was swimming toward the shore.
His father working in the yard saw the two
as they got closer and closer together. In
utter fear, he ran toward the water, yelling
to his son as loudly as he could. Hearing
his voice, the little boy became alarmed
and made a U-turn to swim to his father.
It was too late. Just as he reached his
father, the alligator reached him. From
the dock, the father grabbed his little boy
by the arms just as the alligator snatched !
his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war
between the two. The alligator was much
stronger than the father, but the father
was much too passionate to let go.
A farmer happened to drive by, heard
his screams, raced from his truck, took
aim and shot the alligator. Remarkably,
after weeks and weeks in the hospital,
the little boy survived. His legs were
extremely scarred by the vicious attack
of the animal. And, on his arms, were
deep scratches where his father's
fingernails dug into his flesh in his
effort to hang on to the son he loved.
The newspaper reporter who interviewed
the boy after the trauma, asked if he
would show him his scars. The boy lifted
his pant legs. And then, with obvious pride,
he said to the reporter, "But look at my
arms. I have great scars on my arms, too.
I have them because my Dad wouldn't
let go."
You and I can identify with that little boy.
We have s! cars, too. No, not from an
alligator, but the scars of a painful past.
Some of those scars are unsightly and
have caused us deep regret. But, some
wounds, my friend, are because God has
refused to let go. In the midst of your
struggle, He's been there holding on
to you.
The Scripture teaches that God loves
you. You are a child of God. He wants
to protect you and provide for you in
every way But sometimes we foolishly
wade into dangerous situations, not
knowing what lies ahead.
The swimming hole of life is filled
with peril - and we forget that the
enemy is waiting to attack. That's
when the tug-of-war begins - and if
you have the scars of His love on
your arms, be very, very grateful.
He did not and will not ever let you
go.
God has blessed you, so that you
can be a blessing to others. You just
never know where a person is in his/her
life and what they are going through.
! Never judge another persons scars,
because you don't know how they got
them. Also, it is soooo important that
we are not selfish, to receive the
blessings of these messages, without
forwarding them to someone else.
Right now, someone needs to know that
God loves them, and you love them, too -
enough to not let them go.
MAY GOD BLESS U AND UR FAMILY :)
