Follow Me
One day there was a man lost in the woods. From the bottom of his soul he cried out Please help me. He then turned around and a man appeared to him. This man wiped the tears from the mans eyes and they talked awhile. The man asked, Would you like to come to my house? The other man replied, I have been wandering here in the woods for some time now and I would like to come to your house. Which way is it? The man then replied, Listen carefully my son, if you follow me, you will find my house. Now I must go on ahead to prepare a place for you. If you follow me, you will be able to hear me and I will lead you to my house. He then turned and disappeared. The man found himself seemingly alone but he was happy. He looked all around himself and saw trees all around him. He then heard, Turn to your right and walk.and he did so. All that day, whatever he heard, he did. On the next day as he was walking down a narrow path, the thorns of many bushes on both sides of the path kept digging into his legs which brought tears to his eyes. He then heard, Be strong my son, keep walking. He continued to walk and thought to himself, I've been walking for two days now and I still have not found my friend's house, maybe I am going the wrong way. Besides, before, when I was lost I didn't have the thorns of these bushes hurting me. Just about that time he noticed a clearing on the left side of the path. He thought,maybe I could find my friend's house this way and he turned and started to walk. He noticed that in the clearing that there was many leaves from the trees covering the ground. As he walked suddenly he began to feel himself falling. He had fallen into a pit. His frustration had turned to fear. He attempted again and again to climb out but to no avail. By now he was tired and scared. Again his soul cried out, Please help me. He then heard from a distance, My son, what are you doing here? Remember, if you follow me you will find my house, but if you do not, you will never find it. The man responded, I will follow you and immediatly fell asleep from exhaustion. The next morning, the man awoke from the sounds of birds singing and the rays of the sun shinning on his forehead down in the pit. He immediately thought of his friends words and he looked around. He then noticed that overnight a thick vine had grown down into the pit and he quickly pulled himself out and he ran back to the path. Immediatly he heard, Now I must tell you the truth, before, when you walked, you did not see me but I walked with you. If you truly follow me, you will find my house and I will be with you even to the end of time.
