A father wanted to teach his four sons not to judge things too quickly. He sent each son in a different season to look at a pear tree in the distance. The first son saw it as ugly in winter, the second saw buds and promise in spring, the third saw beautiful blossoms in summer, and the youngest saw ripe fruit in fall. The father explained that they were all right because each only saw one season, and a tree or person cannot be judged by one season alone but by all seasons together. The moral is not to let the pain of one season destroy the joy of the rest and not to judge life by only one difficult season.

The professor offered his guests hot chocolate in various cups, from plain to expensive. When the nice cups were all taken, leaving the plain ones, the professor used this as an analogy to explain that the cup holds the hot chocolate but does not change its quality or their enjoyment of it.

They should focus on enjoying the life that God provides rather than concentrating only on the external factors like the cup.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
