“The Advocate, the Holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name — he will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.” – John 14:26
It was the school’s family day and my son’s preschool teacher asked us to participate in one of the games. We were requested to join the sack race relay. Both the parent and child had to be inside the sack while racing against the other parent-child teams. My six-year-old Jason got worried when he saw how the participants kept falling down while doing their individual practices.
“I don’t think we can win, Papa,” he said. It was then that I gave Jason our game strategy. “Hold onto the sack with your two hands, while I carry you in my arms. I’ll do all the jumping while I carry you,” I said.
The strategy worked as I hope it would. Our competitors kept falling while we coasted along smoothly towards victory.
God knows that life is difficult. He personally experienced this when He became man. This is why He sent the Holy Spirit to help us. Allow God to carry you in His arms as you coast along to victory in this game called life.
