The Spider-Man


The other night, the spider spat and spun a web to make a home. The next morning, man destroyed it to sweep clean his dwelling.

Last night, the spider spurted and knitted a web to build a home. This morning, man ravaged it again to sweep clean his dwelling.

Tonight, the same spider has spewed and coiled a web to remake and rebuild a home. Tomorrow morning, will man shatter it again to sweep clean his dwelling?

And the spider, will it redo its thing if thrice its home is ruined? 

Whose faith will survive? "The one that never gives up." 

The spider knows the truth. So does man.

Spiritual? New concept here!

Yes. It's about the "power" that Spiderman had been "gifted" with. He saw this gift as a "curse" because of the responsibility it entailed. But those who have not the gift see having it as all "bed of roses" -- so there is jealousy; and they make things difficult for the gifted.

If they only knew, "to whom much is given much is required." Luke 12:48. So they add more weight to the burden that is already there!!! :)
