The Kingdom of Heaven is like...

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was given a balloon. God told him he could make the balloon bigger by breathing in to it, but to only breath in to it seven times. He breathed in to the balloon and then he breathed in to it again. Eventually, after much breath had been expelled, the man breathed in to it for the eigth time and the balloon burst. Then all that was left were tattered remains. Then God gave the man another balloon. It was a very expensive balloon. It cost God a lot. The man blew in to it once more. The story is not yet finished...but we all have the choice whether to follow God's instructions or to go it alone.
