"There once lived a man. His name was Andy. He owned a tiny remote-controlled helicopter called Picoo-Z, given to him by one of his fellow colleagues during a Christmas gift-exchange activity. He loved it so much that he played with it every day.
He even brought it to a friend's Christmas Day gathering in this beautiful town called Bishan. His friend lived on the 33rd storey of a condominium.
Andy was eager to display his flying skills to everyone at the party. He started the engine of the helicopter. He increased the throttle of the rotor-blades and off the helicopter flew around his friend's residence.
Andy manoeuvred the machine with great skills - up and down, left and right it flew. He became so good that the helicopter flew out of the windows and down it went - 33rd storey..... 32nd storey...... 31st...... 30th...... 20th...... 10th...... 3rd...... 2nd...... 1st storey.
Because of his love for his machine, he rushed out of his friend's home, took the lift down and frantically searched for his lost helicopter. After 30 minutes, he still could not find it. Dejected he went up. When his friends asked, he sadly told them it could not be found.
Dissatisfied he was that Andy decided to go down again to look for the missing helicopter. He widened his search area but to no avail. Again he went up disappointed.
Two hours later, he did once more. Down he went and down he was because his search was futile.
Andy still has his beloved helicopter in mind, wondering where it could have gone.
This parable reminds us that God loves His children so much that everytime one goes astray, He will not give up His attempts to search for this lost child. He will keep trying till one day this child would be found - just like Andy's desire that one day his helicopter would come back to his side."
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
