[00:15.50]They would go riding together every day. [00:18.15]It so happened on the route they would take around the countryside, [00:22.73]there was a ditch about eight or nine feet wide, [00:25.58]after a time it was apparent that the red horse’s spirit could not be shaken. [00:31.28]When coming up to this gap in the trail he hurled it the first time. [00:35.98]Because of the spirit in him he was quick to respond and jumped it with no problem. [00:41.69]Yet the more docile horse would balk every time he came to the edge. [00:46.61]He wasn’t sure of the distance; [00:48.82]he would stand on the edge trembling with indecision and doubt [00:52.86]because the distance to him looked too great. [00:55.73]Then one day after awhile, [00:58.25]coming up to the ditch and watching his companion take it with ease, [01:02.51]something happened within him, a knowing was born that he could too. [01:07.35]So with agility and ease he gracefully bounded over the barrier. [01:12.37]Life is much like the two horses. [01:15.32]When we as people come up against trials or situations [01:19.61]we just don’t feel like we can make the distance [01:22.44]or that it just is too big and we don’t know if we’ll make it, [01:26.63]we balk standing on the edge trembling. [01:29.25]It’s not until we depend upon the spirit within. [01:32.30]Then we are able to make it with ease. [01:35.04]Until we quit looking at the obstacle or trial through our eyes, [01:39.44]they will always seem too big for us. [01:41.95]But there is a spirit within us that can judge the distance to the other side [01:46.89]and will give us the strength to make it through it. [01:49.73]As long as we let it. [01:52.57]It all comes to a choice whether we look for the spirit within [01:56.32]or just stand on the edge and balk. |
