Spiritual freedom is my birthright.

I am a free thinker. I am able to rise above mental

prejudices and stereotypes of others.

I am a free thinker. Nobody and nothing can manipulate

me or deceive me.

I am a free thinker. I freely choose truth and love.

Today, I embrace a greater degree of spiritual

freedom.

The Ant and the Contact Lens: a true story ..wow

was almost halfway to the top of the tremendous

granite cliff. She was standing on a ledge where she

was taking a breather during this, her first rock

climb. As she rested there, the safety rope snapped

against her eye and knocked out her contact lens .

" Great " , she thought. " Here I am on a rock ledge,

hundreds of feet from the bottom and 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 for calm, and she prayed that she

may find her contact lens.

When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and

her clothing for the lens, but it was not to be found.

Although she was calm now that she was at the top, she

was saddened because she could not clearly see across

the range of mountains. She thought of the bible verse

" The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the

whole earth. "

She thought, " Lord, You can see all these mountains.

You know every stone 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 cliff they met another party of climbers

just starting up the face of the cliff. 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 saw it? An ant was moving slowly ac ross a

twig on the face of the rock, carrying it!

The story doesn't end there. 's father is a

cartoonist. When she told him the incredible story of

the ant, the prayer, and the contact lens, he drew a

cartoon of an ant lugging that contact lens with the

caption, " 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 me to do, I'll carry it

for You. "

I think it would do all of us some good to say, " God,

I don't know why You 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. He keeps me functioning

each and every day Without Him, I am nothing, but with

Him....I can do all things through Christ which

strengthens me.

(Phil. 4:13)

This is a simple test. If you love GOD and are not

ashamed of all the marvelous things He has done for

you, send this to ten people and the person who sent

it to you.
