There was an island with many naughty monkeys, and the monkeys would always run up the trees before the villagers could catch them. So one day the village elder hatched a plan. They would put nice shiny pebbles inside hollowed coconuts. The monkeys came and look curiously into the coconuts. They saw the nice pebbles and tried to take it out. Their hands were big enough to go in, but when holding the pebble, their hands were stuck and they could not take it out. The monkeys tried running away, but they couldn't climb up the trees with one of their hands stuck in the coconut. The villagers caught the monkeys and cooked them! Those poor monkeys lost their lives because they were not willing to let go of things that looked pretty, but do not really matter.
Son, all that glitters is not gold.
What are you holding on that might cause you your life?
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15
