故事

从前，有一个小男孩，他有着巨大的恐惧。他几乎害怕所有的东西。然而，有一天晚上，一切都改变了。

故事开始于男孩准备上床睡觉的时候。他穿上了暖暖的睡衣，安全地躺进被窝里，做完祷告后，他的爸爸刚关上灯，小男孩就惊恐地喊道：

“我的壁橱里有一个巨大的怪物！”

爸爸立刻跑回房间，坐在床沿上，问道：“你看到什么样的怪物？”

小男孩颤抖着回答：“是一个毛茸茸的巨魔！”

爸爸笑了笑，走到壁橱前，伸手进去，拿出一个大大的毛绒泰迪熊。（可以向孩子展示泰迪熊。）他轻轻拍了拍儿子的肩膀，说：“让我给你讲一个真实的故事，我相信能帮助你克服恐惧。”

“许多年前，神为一群叫以色列人的人行了奇迹。祂拯救他们脱离奴役，并要赐给他们一片美丽的应许之地。

“在拯救他们的过程中，神行了许多神迹。其中之一就是分开红海，让他们可以在干地上安全通过。

“当他们即将进入应许之地时，神指示以色列人派十二个人去探查那片土地。十个人回来后非常害怕！他们说，虽然那片土地确实美好，但那里住着巨人！他们惊恐地说，相比之下，他们自己就像蚱蜢一样渺小。

“然而，另外两个人说，那里确实有巨人，但神已经应许把这片土地赐给他们，而且这片土地非常丰饶。他们还带回了一些巨大的葡萄给大家看。

“这两位勇敢的人鼓励大家信靠神，并记住祂曾经为他们行过的神迹。他们说：‘神必定会信守承诺，把这片土地赐给我们！’

“可惜，大多数人选择听信那十个胆怯之人的话。因为他们的不信，神让以色列人在旷野流浪了 40 年。

“你看，孩子，”爸爸继续说道，“以色列人的恐惧是没有根据的。他们让恐惧占据了内心，导致他们失去了对神的信靠。其实，神一直在保护他们，无论有没有巨人，神都会实现祂的应许。

“直到今天，神依然在保护和拯救我们。所以，不要让毫无根据的恐惧控制你。我们应该相信神爱我们，并且祂一直与我们同在，保护我们。”

小男孩抬头看着爸爸，说：“我明白了……与其把注意力放在想象出来的恐惧上，不如专注于神对我的爱，并记住祂希望我得到最好的。”

爸爸微笑着亲吻了他的额头，说：“没错！”

那天晚上，这个曾经有巨大恐惧的小男孩，终于感受到神巨大的爱。

Giant Fears

A little boy defeats the monsters in his closet with God's love.For storybook version Click here 

It all started when the boy got ready for bed. After putting on some warm pajamas, he was tucked safely inside the covers, and said his prayers. His dad had just turned off the lights, when the little boy cried out, "THERE'S A GIANT MONSTER IN MY CLOSET!"

The boy's dad came rushing back into the room and sat down on the edge of the bed. "What kind of monster did you see?" he asked. The little boy replied, "It's a giant hairy troll." "Is this what you saw?" said his dad as he reached into the closet and pulled out a large stuffed teddy bear. (Show the stuffed teddy bear to the children.) He patted the frightened boy on the shoulder and then said, "Let me tell you a true story that I think will help you overcome your fears.

"Many years ago God did a mighty work for a group of people called the Israelites. God had delivered them from slavery and was going to give them a beautiful new land of their own.

"While delivering them God had performed many miracles. One was when He parted the waters of the red sea so that they could pass through on dry ground.

"Just before they were to enter the Promised Land, God instructed the Israelites to send twelve men to explore the land. Ten men came back and were very much afraid! They said that although the land was wonderful, it was inhabited by huge giants! The ten fearful men said that compared to the giants, they looked like grasshoppers!

"The other two men said that there were indeed giants, but that God had promised the land to them, and the land was very good.

"They showed the people some of the giant grapes they had brought back with them. The two brave men said that the people should trust God and remember all of the miracles that He had already done for them! 'Surely God will keep His promise and give us this land,' they said.

"Sadly, the people choose to listen to the ten fearful men instead. Because of their unbelief, God made the Israelites wander in the desert for 40 years.

"You see, son," his dad continued. "The Israelites' fears were unfounded. They let their fears get the better of them and it weakened their trust in God. God was protecting them all along and would have given them the land that He had promised, giants or no giants.

"God still protects and delivers us too up until this very day. Don't let unfounded fears get the better of you. We should take comfort in the fact that God loves us very much and is here today to help and protect us."

The little boy looked up at his dad and said, "I think I understand... instead of focusing on an imaginary fear, I should focus on how much God loves me and remember that He wants the very best for me." His dad smiled and kissed him goodnight. "You got it!" That night, the little boy who once had GIANT FEARS now had the feeling of God's GIANT LOVE!
