I’d like to tell you a story (author unknown). One day there was a great flood and a whole town was being evacuated. A van pulled up at a man’s house and the driver shout for him to get in as everyone was being evacuated. The man said, “No thank you God will save me.” Not wanting to risk staying, the van driver drove off to safety.
The water began to rise and was up to the man’s first floor window. A man in a boat came by and offer to take this man to safety, but again the man said “No thank you God will save me.” When the water rose up to the roof a helicopter came to rescue the man, who was then standing on his roof. Again the man said, “No thank you God will save me.”
The water continued to rise and the man drowned. When the man got to heaven he asked God why did you not save me? God said, “I sent a van, I sent a boat and I sent a helicopter.”
The moral of the story is that we have to take accountability and ownership of our own rescue and our own lives. We cannot expect others to do everything for us, even God for that matter, if you believe in him. If we are waiting for others to fix everything, we will miss so many opportunities that can lead us to great joy, fulfilment and success.
So, be humble and take offers of help when they are offered to you and take ownership of your life and your life will be exponentially better.
