Today as i was sitting on the bus, i read a story that i think i could share with u.
Years ago, there was a poor man who wanted to travel from US to Europe. He worked hard, saved every extra penny he could, and finally had just enough to purchase a ticket aboard a cruise ship. the trip at that time required about two or three weeks to cross the ocean. He went out and bought a suitcase and filled it full of cheese and crackers. That’s all he could afford.
Once on board, all the other passengers went to the large, ornate dinning room to eat their gourment meals. Meanwhile, the poor man would go over in the corner and eat his cheese and crackers. This went on day after day. He could smell the delicious food being served in the dining room. He heard the other passengers speak of it in glowing terms as they rubbed their bellies and complained about how full they were, and how they would have to go on a diet after the trip. The poor traveler wanted to join the other guests in the dinning room, but he had no extra money. Sometimes he’d lie awake at night dreaming of the sumptuous meals the other guests described.
Towards the end of the trip, another man came up to him and said,” Sir, i can’t help but notice that you are always over there eating those cheese and crackers at mealtimes. Why don’t you come into the banquet hall and eat with us?”
The traveler’s face flushed with embarrassment. “well, to tell you the truth, i had only enough money to buy the ticket. i don’t have any extra money to purchase fancy meals.”
The other passenger raised his eyebrows in surprise. He shook his head and said, “Sir, don’t you realise the meals are included in the price of the ticket? your meals have already being paid for!”
When i first saw that story, it reminds me not to eat more cheese and crackers. How many people are similar to that naive traveler. They are missing out on God’s best for them because they don’t realise that the good things in life have already been paid for.
Everytime we shrink back and say, “Well, i can’t do it; i don’t have what it takes, ” we’re eating more cheese and crackers. Everytime we go around full of fear, worry, anxiety, or are uptight about something, we’re eating more cheese and crackers. So stop eating cheese and cracker. Start living with faith that goods things will happen to you. All the Best!!
