Ugh. I must be having writer's block, cuz I really Really want to write a poem right now but I just can't get it to come out in the way I want it to. Actually makes me kinda up-set! I want to express that I am feeling confused and lost in my emotional life right now. I want to say that I wish some people would just stop being so hard to understand. I want to write that I wish God would just explain things to me, but I can't. If God told us how things were going to end up and where we will be at the end of the day, then there really would be no such thing as free-will!

I was told a sorry once...The Man in the Flood
ReplyDeleteThere once was a man caught in a flood who had a deep faith in God. As the flood waters rose, his neighbors told him, "You have to leave, the flood is going to wash everything away."
Calmly, the man replied, "It's not a problem, God will save me."
As the waters continued to rise to the second floor of the man's house, a boat came by with rescuers. They said, "Quickly, get in, the flood is going to wash everything away."
Again the man replied, "It's not a problem, God will save me."
As the flood worsened, the man was forced to climb onto the roof of his home. A helicopter came, threw down a ladder and the rescuers said, "Climb up. The flood is about to wash everything away."
One more time, the man said, "It's not a problem, God will save me."
Finally, the flood washed everything away, and the man drowned.
When he reached heaven, he saw God. The first thing he asked was, "Lord, I was so certain you would save me, what happened?"
Very perplexed, God said to the man, "I just don't know, I sent neighbors, a boat and a helicopter to save you."

Perhaps he IS helping you, and you just aren't understanding them?
