circle

I was enjoying my evening in a Park bench. There were 2 kids. The Older one was Jim and the younger was Sam. They were playing something and suddenly. Jim came near Sam and made a circle around him and told him not to cross it. Sam without a second thought jumped and was outside the next second.

Jim came back and made an even bigger circle covering his brother. Sam smirked at his brother and leaped outside in an instance. Jim thought a while and drawn an even bigger circle and looked at his brother and told his brother sternly ‘If you cross the circle, forget the ice cream’. Sam had a moment of silence and made a leap and shown his tongue out at his brother.

Jim, now infuriated looked at his brother and told him ‘If you cross this I will not cover you from Scooby’ and drew a very big circle accommodating his brother. Scooby is the neighbor’s dog who is a nightmare for Sam. Sam stayed indoors for days in the fear of Scooby. After hearing this he was in a shock and was very scared. He thought for a moment and slowly took one step out of the larger circle.

This time Jim lost all his patience and drawn a very big circle covering almost all of the small park and came near Sam and stood next to him and held his hands tight. Sam tried to free himself but he couldn’t  get his hands freed from his elder sibling. Finally, Jim had a smile of victory and Sam was whining. 

Then their father came and saw all that was happening said to Sam not to be naughty and obey his brother. And said he will be watching. Sam started behaving and played inside the circle in his Father s watch.

While this was happening there was a bell. And it was indeed the bell of the Ice Cream uncle. Both the boys ran towards the Icecream uncle and got their favorite ice creams and walked towards their home while their father started following them.

After witnessing this, I was reminded of Jesus. God’s grace is like the circle. Which we try our best to get out of. Whenever we do that. God draws an even bigger circle to accommodate us. Such a wonderful God he is. His Grace abound us all

James 4:6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
