The Story Not Told

If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

If u noticed, this verse was on my daily blessings today....

Hmm...somehow this verse reminds me of Narnia (watched yesterday after cns...)

It reminds me of the conversation between Aslan and Lucy (the cute little girl)...Lucy was the only one who saw Aslan across that gaung (watever it is in English)..And though the rest questioned her, she still stood firm on her believe...she didn't berganjak from her believe and went out in search of Aslan (when there was nil chance for the Narnians to win this battle) in hope that Aslan will save all of them from the terror of Telmarines....

Aslan : Why didn't you come search for me earlier?
Lucy : Coz I was afraind to come alone...

Many a time, we are very fearful to take the first step. Fear of the unknown, fear of the consequences that may befall us if we walk out of our zones of comfort, fear of what the future/the world outside holds for us.

Staying in our comfort zones means that we'll forever be that katak di bawah tempurung. We'll never grow...we're just limited to that perimeter of fence we've laid around us....

Maybe it's time we cut open a hole in the fence and venture out of the plot of space we've limited ourselves into...like how peter, edward, susan and nancy went into the cupboard and then went into a new realm...
Maybe...it's where our true destiny really lies...

And what happens after Lucy seeked for Aslan's help? He was so powerful and mighty that when he sounds his roar...all the natural forces starts coming together and then all the Telmarines were defeated (eventhough they really outnumbered the Narnians X10^10)....

What does this tell us?

If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

C.S. Lewis is conveying a message to us...
Btw, didn't realize this till Pui Fun pointed out...and when I reflect back...I found more and more similarities.. :)
