Johnny Chang - Trust in God before you Trust Yourself.

Johnny Chang, a Minister with a penchant for sharing intriguing tales from the Bible and Chinese folklore, captivated his audience with an old fable that unfolded in the midst of a grand feast. The tale chronicled the extraordinary events surrounding a renowned General and a moment of darkness that unveiled a shocking act of indiscretion.

As the candles flickered and ultimately extinguished, plunging the room into an impenetrable gloom, a hushed silence fell over the gathered guests. In that very instant, a soldier, overcome by the intoxication of wine, seized the opportunity to succumb to his desires. Ignoring the darkness that enveloped the room, he impulsively approached and began kissing and fondling the concubine of the esteemed General.

Unbeknownst to the soldier, the concubine managed to discreetly snatch a tassel from his hat during the bewildering encounter. She clutched it tightly, her senses heightened by the weight of the transgression committed against her. The darkness granted her temporary refuge, shielding her identity and allowing her to acquire evidence that would bring retribution to the offender.

Though the General possessed the means to restore light to the room with ease, and in turn identify the soldier who had assaulted his concubine, he chose a path less steeped in bloodshed. Sensing an opportunity for a different kind of justice, he devised a cunning plan.

Before commanding the illumination of the chamber, the General issued an unexpected decree. With a commanding voice, he instructed every person in the room, be they guest or soldier, to remove their tassels, rendering them indistinguishable from one another. The anticipation in the room was palpable, and the guests obeyed, clutching their tassels and removing them as instructed.

Finally, with a flicker of his hand, the General summoned the return of light. As the room bathed in brightness, he gazed across the assembled crowd, now bereft of any distinguishing marks. The soldier who had committed the heinous act realized his grave error. The missing tassel on his hat, now absent, would have unequivocally condemned him had he kept it.

The General, armed with the knowledge of the soldier's guilt, chose a different course of action. He chose not to seek immediate vengeance, but instead to bide his time, waiting for a moment of profound significance to cross paths with the perpetrator once again.

Time flowed on, as it tends to do, and the General's life unfolded in a manner befitting his status. Years passed, battles were fought, and victories were won. Then, in an extraordinary twist of fate, the very soldier who had assaulted the General's concubine emerged once more, but under wholly unexpected circumstances.

The details of this soldier's reappearance, and the impact it had on the General's life, remained shrouded in mystery—a testament to the fickle hand of destiny. Nevertheless, it serves as a testament to the power of patience and the remarkable ways in which life weaves its intricate tapestry, interconnecting the lives of even the most disparate individuals.

And so, Johnny Chang concluded his tale, leaving his mesmerized listeners to contemplate the profound wisdom buried within the old Chinese fable. The story of the General, the darkened room, and the drunken soldier would forever echo in their minds, reminding them of the complex and unpredictable nature of life's journey and to Trust in God.
