Question

There is a beautiful story about a child playing with a vase his mother had left on the table for a few moments. When the mother turned1the sound of her son’s crying she saw that his2was in the vase and was apparently stuck. She3to help him and pulled and pulled until the child cried out 4. But the hand was stuck fast(牢固地). How would they get it out? The father suggested5the vase but it was quite valuable and the child’s hand might be cut in the 6 . Yet he knew that if all else7there would be no other alternative.
So he said to the boy, “Now, let’s make one more8. Open your hand and stretch your9out straight, as I’m doing, and then pull!” “10Dad,” said the boy, “if I do that I’1111my penny!”
The boy had had a coin in his hand12and was holding it 13in his tight little fist. And he wasn’t 14to open his hand and lose it. But15he opened his hand it came out of the vase easily.
The father said to the boy, “What are you holding onto so tightly as to hinder (阻碍) your walk with God? That vase can be16to the entrance to the Kingdom of God. It is narrow yet quite17to pass in, but first you must open your hand to God and18earthly(世俗的)things to fall. If we keep our fists19and hold fast to what we have and keep it for ourselves, we will be unable to20hold of the hand of God. Open your hand to the hand of God and you will see great things take place.”
