Will U Do This For Him...?

Great story!!!!

Brenda was almost halfway to the top of the tremendous granite cliff.She was standing on a ledge where she was taking a breather duringthis, her first rock climb. As she rested there, the safety rope snapped against her eye and knocked out her contact lens. "Great", shethought. "Here I am on a rock ledge, hundreds of feet from the bottomand 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 forcalm, and she prayed that she may find her contact lens.

When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothingfor the lens, but it was not to be found. Although she was calm nowthat she was at the top, she was saddened because she could notclearly see across the range of mountains. She thought of the bible verse "The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the wholeearth."

She thought, "Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know everystone 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 cliffthey met another party of climbers just starting up the face of thecliff. 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 sawit? 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 contactlens, he drew a cartoon of an ant lugging that contact lens with thecaption, "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 meto do, I'll carry it for You."

I think it would do all of us some good to say, "God, I don't know whyYou 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. Hekeeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him....I can do all things through Christ which strengthensme. (Phil. 4:13)
This is a simple test. If you love GOD and are not ashamed of all themarvelous things He has done for you, send this to ten people.

"You Gave Me a Mountain"
