A desire to lead others
After making the decision, it seemed like a moment before Charlie was just a few metres away from the end of the tunnel. As he got nearer, he saw more, and his excitement increased. He began to run. The hard surface of the tunnel path vanished – Charlie was out!
He dropped to his knees in amazement! This was the most beautiful place he had ever seen! His ecstatic joy caused him to laugh out loud! The green pastures, the perfect blue sky, the coloured rocks and varying landscapes all around were just a taste of some of the things Charlie saw and experienced. He found many other people there, each full of joy and buzzing with the excitement of a 5-year-old child on Christmas Eve!
‘This is great!’ thought Charlie. ‘This is where I belong… I’m home!’ But just as he said that, he was hit by a strong feeling of discomfort. ‘What about all those people still in that tunnel? They’ve got to know about this place!’
As much as Charlie wanted to stay in this beautiful place and never leave, he also felt a great desire to go back into the tunnel he was once in and tell others of the good news.
