I heard this story about a fish.
He swims up to an older fish and says,
“I’m trying to find this thing they call ‘the ocean.'”
“The ocean? the older fish says,
“That’s what you’re in right now.”
“This?” says the young fish. “This is water.
What I want is the ocean!”
--Adapted from Fr. Anthony De Mello,
The Song of the Bird
A boy asked the father: How Big is God?
Then the father looked up to the sky and seeing an airplane asked the son: "What's the size of that airplane?"
The boy answered: "It's very small. I can barely see it."
So the father took him to the airport and as they approached an airplane he asked: "And now, what is the size of this one?"
The boy answered: "Wow, daddy, this is huge!"
Then the father told him: "God is like this, His size depends on the distance between you and Him. The closer you are to Him, the greater He will be in your life!"
