Survivor
The spiritual esssense that is God (all that is) is unmasked in its ability to choose the best path if we are clear enough to tap in (beyond religious noise and dogma).
Date: 3/26/2006 1:30:07 AM ( 18 y ) ... viewed 1844 times The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island.
He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect himself from the elements and to store his few possessions.
One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his
little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the
worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with
disbelief, grief, and anger.
He cried out, "God! How could you do this to me?"
Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship
approaching the island! It had come to rescue him! "How did you
know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers.
"We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
The Moral of This Story: It's easy to get discouraged when things
are going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work
in our lives, even in the midst of our pain and suffering..
Remember that the next time your little hut seems to be burning to
the ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace
of God.
