This isn't a parable as much as it is an analogy.

I was going on one of my walks which is where I am closest with him and I am attacted to the beauty and wonder of nature that speaks to me with him and I was just walking and talking with him when I looked down and saw an ant carrying a leaf from the grass to the ant hill but it was a big leaf and even the ant was having trouble so I picked up the leaf and brought it to the ant hill for the ant.

This is when this analogy was placed in my mind.

Think of the ant as us from the ants perspective that ant hill and the patch of grass is it's whole world it seems massive to it there is no way it could comprehend how vast the world is think then of me seeing this ant as God from his perspective he knows how vast the world really is that small patch of grass is so tiny to me.

The ant is strong but carrying that bruden was difficult for the ant but I can take that burden and move it for the ant easier than breathing.


To us our view of the world our understanding of it and of him compared to that of his being is so vastly huge that there is absolutely no way we could even fathom it.


And we carry our brudens we carry our worries and stress we carry burdens that if we let him he could just carry it for us.
 
HI, @Agra Man …. I feel the same way when I’m out walking, and I see an earthworm that has been washed up out of the ground onto the street after a hard rain. For the earthworm, it’s a very long slow crawl back to the cool earth; and he may not make it before he becomes bird food or before the hot sun beats down and gets the better of him. OR he can let me help him. I can coax him onto a twig or just pick him up and move him to a spot where he can find rest again. Life is the same for us—very tough sometimes, but our Father always stands ready to help.
