A niece forwarded to me this story, perhaps knowing I have yet to be a Christian...
One night the diver went to the indoor pool at the university he attended. The lights were off, but the moon shining brightly through the skylights allowed enough light to practice. He climbed to the highest diving board and walked to the edge. Turning his back to the pool and extending his arms outward, he was moved when he saw the shadow of his body on the wall in the shape of a cross ---- the cross his friend had shared about so many times where Christ made the sacrifice for him. Recalling his friend's words, he knelt right there on that diving board and gave his life to Christ.
After praying, he stood. Just then a maintenance man walked in and flipped on the lights. The pool had been drained for repairs! Had he ignored the Spirit of God again, he would have dove to his death. His response to God saved his spiritual and physical death.
Oftentimes it's not just your soul that is saved.
Read 1 Corinthians 1:18
In God's always-perfect timing, the young diver realized his need for a Savior, and God's power was shown in an awesome way. Are you sure of your own salvation?
Somehow, I am reminded of Art Harun's recent post in his blog...
