A deer named Buttercup
But Charles knew that he couldn’t be like the deer because he was a duck, and ducks live in the water. However, this didn’t stop Charles from dreaming big. He wanted to be brave like the deer and explore the world outside of the pond.
One day, Charles decided to venture out of the pond and into the forest. He wasn’t afraid of crossing the street or the dark because he knew that God was always with him. He swam across the pond, walked across the grass, and even climbed over a log.
As he was exploring the forest, he met the deer he had been admiring from afar. The deer was surprised to see a duck in the forest and asked Charles why he was there. Charles explained that he wanted to be strong and brave like the deer and explore the world outside of the pond.
Buttercup smiled and told Charles that he was already smart ,strong and brave because he knew how to swim when he was born, he was willing to venture out of his comfort zone. He told Charles that he didn’t have to be like him to be brave, and that God had made him perfectly the way he was.
Charles was happy to hear this and thanked Buttercup for his kind words. He realized that he didn’t have to be like the deer to be brave and explore the world around him. He was already brave just by being himself. He was perfectly made by God.
As Charles made his way back to the pond, he remembered a Bible verse that his mother had taught him. “Do not be afraid, for I am with you.” (Isaiah 41:10) He knew that as long as he had God with him, he could be brave and explore the world around him.
From that day on, Charles continued to explore the world outside of the pond. He was still a duck, but he was a brave duck who wasn’t afraid to dream big. And whenever he felt scared or unsure, he remembered the Bible verse that had helped him become brave.
The end.
