They tell the story of a mountain climber who, desperate to
conquer the Aconcagua, initiated his climb after years of
preparation. But he wanted the glory to himself, therefore,
he went up alone. He started climbing and it was becoming
later, and later. He did not prepare for camping, but decided
to keep on going.
Soon it got dark. Night fell with heaviness at a very high
altitude. Visibility was zero. Everything was black. There was
no moon, and the stars were covered by clouds.
As he was climbing a ridge at about 100 meters from the
top, he slipped and fell. Falling rapidly he could only see
blotches of darkness that passed. He felt a terrible sensation
of being sucked in by gravity. He kept falling… and in those
anguishing moments good and bad memories passed
through his mind. He thought certainly he would die.
But then he felt a jolt that almost tore him in half. Yes! Like
any good mountain climber he had staked himself with a
long rope tied to his waist. In those moments of stillness,
suspended in the air he had no other choice but to shout:
“HELP ME GOD. HELP ME!”
All of a sudden he heard a deep voice from heaven… “What
do you want me to do?”
“SAVE ME.”
“Do you REALLY think that I can save you?”
“OF COURSE, MY GOD.”
“Then cut the rope that is holding you up.”
There was another moment of silence and stillness. The man
just held tighter to the rope. The rescue team says that the
next day they found a frozen mountain climber hanging
strongly to a rope…
TWO FEET OFF THE GROUND.

How about you? How trusting are you in that rope? Would you have listened to the voice of God by cutting the rope off your waist without even knowing that you were only two feet off the ground?This is truly a test of faith and I doubt if a handful of people would have let go of the rope.
