There is a
story of a king who had a very beautiful daughter. Whenever the time came for
the women from the royal families to be given out in marriage, as it was the
tradition of the village, capable young men would compete, and the winner of
the competition would be the king’s in-law.
In this
particular case, the competition was for the interested men to walk across a
small river where there were vicious and hungry looking crocodiles in there.
Another dangerous thing about showing interest in marrying from the royal
family was that once you decide to compete, there’s no going back until someone
won.
Some of the
men started crying, mothers started wailing knowing full well that their sons
were doomed already. Suddenly, there was this young man that was seen jetting
across the river over those crocodiles. The moment he got to the other side of
the river, he looked back and fainted.
When he was
brought back to life and asked, how he was able to do that. “I was waiting to
see who would be the first to go, when someone suddenly pushed me,” was the
man’s response. Don’t rule yourself out too quickly, push yourself. There is no
limit to what you can achieve in life. The scripture says all things are
possible.
You have so
much power inside of you yet untapped, but you have to unleash them else they
lie dormant. Don’t wait for others to set the records, set them. Be the
standard for others.
You shall not
live short of God’s plan for your life in Jesus Name. Amen!
