The Cliff
One day, a man named Jack was walking along a steep cliff when he accidentally got to close to the edge and fell. On the way down he grabbed a branch, which temporarily stopped his fall. He looked down and to his horror saw the canyon fell straight down for more than a thousand feet. He could not hang unto the branch forever, and there was no way for him to climb up the steep wall of the cliff. So Jack began yelling for help, hoping that someone passing by would hear him and lower a rope or something. Help! Help! Help! Is anyone up there? Help! He yelled for hours, but no one heard him. He was about to give up when he heard a voice. Jack, Jack. Can you hear me? Yes I can hear you. I am down here. I can see you Jack. Are you all right? Yes, but.. who are you, and where are you? I am the Lord, Jack. I am everywhere. The Lord? You mean God? Thats me. God please help me! I promise if youll get me down from here, I will stop sinning. Ill be a really good person. Ill serve you for the rest of my life. Easy on the promises, Jack. Lets just get you down from there; then we can talk. Now, heres what I want you to do. Listen carefully. Ill do anything, Lord. Just tell me what to do. Okay. Let go of the branch. Just trust Me. Let go. There was a long silence. Finally, Jack yelled. Help! Help! Is anyone up there? Help!
