Jozen's red car

Jozen's eyes sparkled every time he looked at his bright red car. It was the best gift he'd ever received, given to him on his 4th birthday. From that day on, it was his constant companion.

As soon as Jozen woke up in the morning, he'd grab his beloved red car and start playing. Even during meals, his gaze would drift back to it, his eyes shining with affection. The little red car had captured Jozen's heart, and he loved it with every fiber of his being.

On one Sunday morning, Jozen's father entered his room with a curious expression. "Jozen, I have a question for you," he asked, his voice gentle. "Do you love me more than your red car?"

Jozen's response was swift and confident. "Of course, Dad! I love you more than my red car." His father's face lit up with a warm smile and then he asked a follow-up question: "Are you willing to give me your red car, so we can play together instead?"

Jozen's eyes widened in shock. He froze, unsure of how to respond. In that moment, he realized that giving up something he loved dearly, like his beloved red car, was much harder than he thought.

This moment reminds us of Abraham's amazing story in the Bible. Abraham loved his son Isaac deeply, yet God asked him to surrender Isaac as a test of his faith and love. Abraham's willingness to let go of his beloved son demonstrated his full love to God.

Similarly, we're faced with a question: What is our most precious possession? Are we willing to surrender it to God, just like Abraham did?

The End!
