Terence.H Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I thought this was profound so I decided to post it here for the benefit of anyone in doubt about themselves. I hope it helps someone...Be yourself no matter what, There was this man who saw a scorpion floundering around in the water. He decided to save it by stretching out his finger, but the scorpion Stung him. The man still tried to get the scorpion out of the water, But the scorpion stung him again.Another man nearby told him to stop saving the scorpion that kept stinging him. But the man said: "It is the nature of the scorpion to sting. It is my nature to love.Why should I give up my nature to love just because it is the nature of the Scorpion to sting?"LESSON: Don't give up loving?Don't give up your goodness ... even if the people around you, sting."The greatness growth, maturity or knowing your source of provision, health, healing, restoration comes not whenthings go always good for you, but when you're really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments andwhen sadness, defeat, tragedy comes ... because only if you've been in the deepest valley can you ever knowhow magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain!
