There is a story that I want to tell you. It’s not my story, in fact, it’s just a classic. I’m not sure where it originated, and it has religious undertones, but I think that the concept can be applied whether or not you have religious beliefs.
Here’s the story:
There were once three men standing on the top of a house because there was a huge flood. Along came a rescue raft full of neighbors and a rescue crew. They only had room for one more man before the raft was too full to float. Out of the three men on the roof only one was religious. He told the other two men that they could go – that God would save him. One man got on the raft. As they stood there the rain continued to fall and the water continued to rise. The men were forced to climb further up onto the house. After quite a few minutes a helicopter flew by. The second man gratefully took the rope that the rescue crew threw down to him. The other man said, no, God will save me. After waiting a few minutes longer, the man who believed in God was getting anxious, he prayed to God out loud for salvation. As the water was coming up over the man’s shins a police rescue boat strolled by. The officers reached out to the man and told him that they were the last ones out of the neighborhood, and that he needed to come with them. But, the man who believed in God again said that God would save him. Needless to say the third man died. In heaven he was talking to God. He asked why God had forsaken him and left him to die.
