One day Fly was curious, curious. He noticed to the top of the roof there seemed to be a group of flies. Oh he wished he could join this HAPPY group. Why would he want to join? From his view he saw that they seemed to be having a good time. His friends were up there, and he had not seen them since they left. He believed that the place must be so much fun that they did not want to return.
For days he watched as the party got bigger and bigger. Flies were flogging from far and near. The party seemed to swing from left and right. He though, “That must be real fun, for so many to flock to one place and do not want to even leave”. He thought about it, and he made his decision, he was going to join in the fun. He could not afford to be left out.
On his way to the party, he met up on Mr. Spider.
Mr. Spider: “Where are you going fly?”
Fly: “I am going to the party”
Mr. Spider: “What party?”
Fly: “The one hanging from the roof, how can you miss that”
Mr. Spider: (Laughing) “Oohhh, that party”
Fly: “Yes”
Mr. Spider: “Well, I would not really want to go to that party at all”
Fly: “Why is that?”
Mr. Spider: “Well…”
Fly: “Hold on, you are just boring”
Mr. Spider: “Calm down and listen carefully”
Fly listens as best he can
Mr. Spider: “You hear that?”
Fly: “No”
Spider draws Fly closer to the “party”
Mr Spider: “Listen again”
Spider, come you wasting my time
Fly speeds off in anger and adrenalin. He heeds not the warning and heads to joins the party.
Upon reaching he landed in a group of strangers. He saw his friends over the other side. He decided he would go look give them a chat. So he flapped his wings to leave, but he could not leave. He was stuck, stuck to a a fly trap.
Spider told him to listen. But he did realize that he was telling him to listen to silence, a silence that indeed tells that is was not really what it looked like. There was no music. Many a times, we see the world from a far and see people having fun. They are for now, but one day they are going to want to leave the world of SIN and they are going to realize that it is going to be really hard to leave. The Lord forbid, that they are so caught up that God comes, and they would really be stuck. DO NOT LET THIS BE YOU.
I've never heard this story before but it's a really good one, profound actually. Thanks for sharing.
