The Stuck-in-the-Box Box

Open up to see a world full of ME.

IMAGINE it for just a moment,

imagine life

touched by light.

Imagine your day

no longer dark, but bright.

Imagine.

Imagine a world full of ME.

How would you pray differently?

How would you perceive things?

Monday through Friday would look 

upside-down completely!

And this is what I'm saying!

I'm giving you new glasses

to see the world rightly!

With Me!

Let me tell you a story 

about a boy who lived stuck.

He never saw himself get out of it.

So, there he stayed

stuck,

stuck, 

stuck.

But, then one day

he heard of a solution

that could pull him right out!

At first, he didn't believe it.

How could anything change?

Who could possibly turn things about?

But the news came again

and his hope grew stronger.

Maybe, just maybe, 

he could be unstuck forever!

"Oh imagine!"  he thought.

So, be began to think 

outside the box --

the box that made him stuck,

his stuck-in-the box box.

So he began to pray,

"Oh Lord, I know I've been stuck here

for years, months and days,

but if you are willing,

pull me out of this fray!"

And suddenly, a hand

out of nowhere it seemed,

reached into the box

and pulled him out rather quickly!

The man was elated!

He could hardly believe

how swiftly his deliverance

how fast the turn-around seemed!

He stood to his feet

and looked down at the box--

The stuck-in-the-box box

that held him captive in his thoughts.

"I will never go back,"

he said to himself.

"for here I am, free!

I will never get stuck,

no box can now hold me."

And the man skipped away

hand-in-hand with his Friend --

the Friend who pulled him out,

the Friend who changed 

his whole story's end!
