Stories like this strengthens faith
A friend of mine sent me this story on the internet. It is so fantastic, I decided to share it with all of you.
This will give you chills......
No matter how religious you may or may not be, this can
give you chills.
Phil. 4:13 states:
"I can do all things through Christ Who gives me strength."
Here's the story:
A young man who had been raised as an atheist was
training to be an Olympic diver. The only religious influence in his
life came from his outspoken Christian friend. The young diver never
really paid much attention to his friend's sermons, but he heard them
often. One night the diver went to the indoor pool at the college he
attended. The lights were all off, but as the pool had big skylights
and the moon was bright, there was plenty of light to practice by.
The young man climbed up to the highest diving board and
as he turned his back to the pool on the edge of the board and extended
his arms out, he saw his shadow on the wall. The shadow of his body, was
in the shape of a cross. The man felt a strange feeling, like someone
was speaking to him. Instead of diving, he knelt down and finally asked
God to come into his life.
As the young man stood, a maintenance man walked in
and turned the lights on. The pool had been drained for repairs.
I Love Jesus--my Savior. He keeps me functioning each day. Without him,
I am nothing but with Him I can do all things through Christ that
strengthens me." Phil 4:13.
