Anything Goesw/ Pahn

There is a Man who strongly believes in God. He trusted him with all his life, and knows that he will be saved by him no matter what the cause.

One tragic day, a very big storm arrived. It quickly flooded the the streets, and the Man is so confident that he will be saved. Behind him, is a hospital, and the Nurse quickly came with him on an umbrella and asked him “Please come in, this is a very big storm, you will be in danger if you stay there“. The Man replied, “No! I am confident enough that our God almighty will come and protect me. I trust him with all my life!!!“. So the Nurse hurry back, and closed all the doors, and locked up the windows because the flood is rising so quickly.

The flood grew and grew, until it is almost 5-6 feet deep. And the Man needs to step onto something. Then, a small raft boat pass him by and the Boater asked him “Please get inside boat, its far to dangerous to stay here“. The Man still respond, “No! I am confident enough that our God almighty will come and protect me. I trust him with all my life!!!“. So the Boater cannot do anything, but went on his way to fetch other possible victims by the flood.

But it was so terrible, cause the flood grew until the Man have to stay on the roof of his house. Luckily, a helicopter pass by to rescue stranded people and saw the Man. The Rescuers hurried and throw a ladder rope so that the Man would climb up and he could be taken to a safe place. The Rescuers got curious why the Man won’t climb up, so one of them climb down to assist him in climbing, they thought he might be scared or afraid to climb. As the Rescuer tried to pull the Man, it struggled. “Just don’t mind me here! I have trusted all my life to God’s hand. And I know he will save me! Just go and save the others who truly do not believe in God’s power!“. So the Rescuer was not able to do anything, even they insisted him to come. ( what a very stubborn guy huh??)

Until the big waves, and winds and hard rain all together clashes and took aways the Man‘s life. Simply he is dead already

So in heaven, the Man‘s soul asked God as he faced him. “Dear God, I have trusted you with my life, truly believed that you will come and save me. How could have you let this happened? Why didn’t you save me?“ God scratches his head with confusion, “Did I have not sent you those three people (Nurse, Boater and Rescuer) already to save you your life?“

When ever I hear this story, I just really can’t help but laugh about that stupid stubborn Man

Anyway, the Moral of the story is obvious. Many interpretations or types of Moral are found in this story. And what I truly stick in my mind is that “People tend not to realize, that the simplest things are the answers to our prayers humongous prayers. They would always look for something spectacular, to truly believe“. Like they always use the term “To See is to Believe“, but never qualify that what always happen is “Must Believe to Truly See”

I just offer what ever I could, and grab every opportunity that comes my way. Still am not perfect and let some pass my way, but I make sure to coup up with those mistakes.

So, have you ever realize all the things you let slip away?
