A man was going to hike a trail up a great mountain. At the beginning of the trail it was estimated to him that it should take him 4 hours to climb the height. He began to walk. His steps were light and his heart seemed ready for the task ahead. after an hour his steps got somewhat heavier, his body tired, but he was determined and pressed on. another hour passed and he was worn down, the task seemed impossible and the thought of another 2 hours filled him with dread. He thought of giving up as he sat and rested. just then a traveler came down the path and seeing the mans countenance was down he said youre closer than you think and with a smile kept walking back down the trail. with new hope the man believed him and started walking again up the hard trail. 20 minutes later he broke the crest and arrived at the top. lifes trials are a lot like that hike. we can not always see the end of the trial, but if we continue on by faith, if we believe those who have walked the path before us, we will make it through if only we persevere through the hard time through the darkness and on into the light. Dont give up. Youre closer than you think.
