"The Wish of Three Little Trees" / He Yongqi

[Interpretation: He Yongqi]

Once upon a time, on a hill, there lived three little trees, and they stood quietly, dreaming of what would happen when they grew up......

The first little tree, looking at the starry sky, said, "I want to be a chest full of gold and jewels!" My wish is to be the most beautiful treasure chest in the world.

The second little tree looked at the stream that meandered to the sea, and she said, "I want to be the largest ship in the world, in the future!" I want to carry the greatest king in the world to the sea!

The third little tree... She looked at the people who lived there, all of them were busy in the town, and she said, "I don't want to leave this hilltop at all." I'm going to grow tall and point to the sky! When people stop and look at me, they look up at the sky – and think of God!

She said, "I want to be the tallest tree in the world!" Standing at the top of the mountain, when people look at me from afar, they think of God. This...... It's my dream!

And so many years passed, and the sun rose and sunset, the rain stopped, and the little trees grew taller.

One day, three lumberjacks climbed to the top of the mountain. The three little trees, they were very happy to see these three lumberjacks!

They said, "Ah, my dream is about to come true!" The three little trees are cheering for their dreams.

The first lumberjack, looking at the first little tree, said to his companion, "This tree is so beautiful!" I like it very much! With that, his sharp axe, with a bang, slashed at the little tree...... The first small tree, fell.

At the moment of falling, she said happily: I am about to become a treasure chest! Her heart was full of emotion......

The second lumberjack came to the side of the second little tree and said to his companion, "This tree is so strong!" I like it very much! With that, his sharp axe slashed at the second little tree. The second tree, too, fell! The second little tree dreamed, "I'm about to become a great voyage, I'm going to sail the sea with the greatest king!" It was a lot of fun.

When the third lumberjack looked at her body, and the third little tree, she felt her heart sinking! But the third lumberjack, looking upwards, said, "Any tree is useful to me!" At this time...... The third little tree, desperate! In despair, she fell......

She said, "I'm going to stand on the top of the mountain, pointing to the sky!" When people look at me, they think of God! The dream of the third tree is shattered......

Three little trees, each with their own wishes! They are the same tree. But in the hands of three different lumberjacks, they all had a common fate! they were all cut down.........

The lumberjack, taking the first tree, took it to a carpenter's shop. She was so happy that she dreamed she would be a treasure chest......

But the carpenter made it into a trough for feeding the cattle. It was the first small tree that I never thought of......

She used to be so beautiful, but now ...... He was not clothed in gold, but he was in treasure. She's covered with sawdust, and she's filled with farm animals, the hay she loves to eat! It was the fate of the first little tree.

When the lumberjack brought the second tree to a dockyard, a smile appeared on her face! She waited to carry the king to the sea!

However, on that day, no big ship was built. The once strong little tree was hammered, pulled, and sawed into a simple fishing boat, and her thin body could not sail in the sea at all. Ultimately... She was taken to a small town in the middle of nowhere, where the fishermen used it to catch fish in the lake. This... It's the fate of the second tree!

The third small tree was pulled to the lumber mill, where the carpenters made it into pillars. People discarded it, haphazardly, in the open space of the carpentry shop. At this time...... The third tree, confused......

She wondered what had happened? The tallest tree was now confused!

The third little tree thought back to her dreams! She said, "I want to stand on the top of the mountain, pointing to the sky." When people look at my time, they think of God! It's my dream......

The three little trees, how incompatible is the ending at this time with their wishes!

At this time, what will their mood be like? Are they sad?—— sad?—— are they painful?

Countless days and nights have passed, and the three little trees have almost forgotten that they had dreams. Seems...... They have never dreamed like they have ever dreamed! Looking at their own situation, the three little trees no longer mention their dreams......

One night, a couple arrived in the small town of Bethlehem. They were at the inn in the town, ready to stay for the night, and had to hurry tomorrow. But the inn was full! The innkeeper said, "If you don't dislike it, there are still vacant seats in the stables in the backyard." The husband looked at his pregnant wife for a long time! It was already dark, and the mountain road was not easy to walk. So, the husband booked the horse shed of the inn.

In the stable, there are farm tools and hay for feeding the horses, and the husband spreads the hay on the ground for his pregnant wife.

The night fell into silence, and suddenly, the pregnant woman had a pain in her stomach, and she was about to give birth......

The husband was anxious! He hurriedly went to the midwife, and the time was slowly passing! The husband was anxious for his wife. Why hasn't the midwife come yet? The wife's birth pain has made her sweat profusely! The husband is very anxious! Why hasn't the midwife come yet?!

Time, in the passage of minute by minute, in the stable of the inn, very anxious. The husband prepares to meet his mother-in-law. He had just stepped out of the door frame of the stable! Suddenly, a baby's cry pierced the night sky, and a child was born! The shepherds of the Bethlehem wilderness rallied the lambs, and a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky!

The husband was very surprised, and the wife looked at the baby and smiled!

At this time, the midwife has also arrived, and the baby has been born. The husband paid the fee, and the stables of the inn entered the tranquility......

The wife is holding the baby with a smile on her face!

The horse had slowly fallen asleep, and his wife's strength had regained. The father held the baby in his arms and whispered to his wife, "I want to make him a cradle......!"

The husband lays straw on the manger, and the wife takes the baby in the middle, and the moment the mother puts the baby in the manger, at this time... The golden light began to shine on the first little tree, and the baby lay in the cradle, laughing.

When the starlight sprinkled on the smooth manger, the mother grabbed the baby's hand! The mother smiled and said, "This manger is so beautiful—— suddenly! It is embracing, the world's brightest treasure!

The first small tree, from a humble manger, has become the most precious treasure chest in the whole world. She had never thought that now... She dreamed... Achieved ......

It is precisely because of a baby who has been lying in this manger that the first little tree has become the most beautiful treasure chest!

On a dark night, the exhausted fisherman and his friends crowded into the fishing boat. The second small tree sailed quietly to the other side of the lake. The fishermen were so tired! Before they knew it, they fell asleep in the boat......

After a while, there was a loud thunderstorm, and the wind and waves did not stop...... Down. The second little tree began to tremble! She knew that she could not get these passengers ashore by her own ability. The second little tree, struggling to stabilize herself, wanted to send the fishermen ashore as soon as possible! However, the thunder was constantly urging, and the wind was accompanied by heavy rain, whirring straight down! The big waves were about to blow the small fishing boat over.

The fishermen on the small boat were awakened from their exhaustion! People began to be afraid, afraid!

Suddenly, in the crowd, he stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, "Wind and waves, calm down!" In an instant, the wind and waves stopped. The lake was calm again, and the boat was moving in the middle of the lake......

Suddenly, the second little tree, understood! It turned out that she was carrying the greatest king in heaven and earth......

The second little tree did not dare to have extravagant hopes, her dream was to sail the sea with the greatest king in heaven and earth! After so many years......... She forgot that she still had dreams.

But when the man got up from the boat, he said to the stormy waves, "Be calm with the storms!"

She saw power, and the wind and waves listened to him.

Oh, the second little tree, realized! It turned out that she was carrying the greatest king in heaven and earth, sailing!

On a Friday morning, the third tree, shocked, was being pulled by a group of workers. When she was carried out by the angry crowd, she was tempted to back down......

The soldiers, putting a man's hand, nailed her body. At this time, the third little tree trembled! She felt that this was very unseemly! Her heart was also broken......

The next day, it was Saturday morning, and when the sun rose, the earth was shouting! The third tree, now realized, that it was God's mercy that changed all that, and He made the third tree grow taller......

Whenever people look at the third tree, they look up at the sky and think of God. This... That is, he who was crucified by the people! The third little tree, never imagined! How could this be?

She never imagined that she would be made into a cross, a tool of punishment, by a group of angry people.

When Jesus was hung up on the cross by this angry crowd. He... He looked at the heavens and said, "It is done!"

Remember, the third little tree, wish?

She said, "I will stand on the top of the mountain, pointing to the sky!" When people look at me, they can think of God. This... It was her original wish!

Now, the third small tree, which has become the tallest tree, has fulfilled its wish.

- Whenever people look at it, they think of God......! It is...... Crucifix!

The fate of the three little trees was changed because of the appearance of one person! Because of this person, their fate has been rewritten since then. The appearance of this person changed the fate of three small trees! It is strange that he ...... That is, Jesus, the son of Joseph the carpenter,——.

The first little tree, she was the most beautiful, was made into a manger for the cattle. How far is this from her original dream, full of treasure chests?

The second little tree, the strongest! She is tall and strong, and her dream is to become a big ship, and she will carry the greatest king in heaven and earth, to sail into the sea. But fate seemed to play a big joke on her! She was turned into a raft by the workers, and became a small fishing boat. Every day, the fishermen use her to fish in the water of the small lake. This... How much is the difference from her original dream?

The third little tree is the most miserable! She was made into a torture instrument by the people, a punishment instrument. I remember her wish, "I want to stand on the top of the mountain, pointing to the sky! When people look at me, they think of God." How far is it from her dream?

Conclusion: God bless you

Bless you!

So, the next time you have amnesia and feel hopeless, you just have to look at the sky and look at the cross. Jesus bore all your pains for you!
