God In Your Life
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 highet 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. Instaed of diving, he knelt down and finally asked 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. (Story told by my instructor, Donna Bricker from Indiana Weslyan University)
Phil 4:13 states:
"Without him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me" and "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength."
