The story is told of a
little boy who was floating his boat on a pond when the boat
drifted away. A man came by, saw the boat drifting out on the
pond, and began throwing stones on the far side of the boat.
The boy asked, "What are you doing?"
But then something very
interesting happened. As the stones hit the water beyond the
boat, they created ripples which pushed the boat back toward
the boy. Even though the stones disturbed the smooth water,
they achieved the desired result.
That's how
it is with God sometimes. When we drift away from Him, He
throws the disturbing stones out beyond us in order to push us
back to the shore of His love.
