Salvation

Iā€™m panting now. Iā€™ve been running through the forest, over roots and under branches. The woods are so thick, I canā€™t even see the sky. Finally, I reach the border of the woods. What? A river? Now what? Iā€™m being pursued by a man, dressed in all black. I donā€™t know who he is, but heā€™s fast and gaining speed.


The wind is blowing my hair and Iā€™m looking for a way across the river. I can swim, but the currant is moving too fast. Iā€™d be sucked down and drowned. Iā€™m sweating, not from heat, but from fear. I catch a glimpse of him behind me and I search around more frantically. I see what looks to be a row boat. I run over to it and sure enough, itā€™s a boat. Itā€™s old and rugged, but it should work! I feel temporary relief. I give it a shove but itā€™s stuck.


I gasp as I hear the leaves move right behind me. Heā€™s there. I shove, harder this time and the boat shoots out into the water, leaving me behind. Without another thought, I jump into the water.


Cold. Fast. Iā€™m sucked under. Iā€™m going to drown. This is my last day. I may not get another breath. Where will I go afterward? Heaven? Hell? What have I done with my life? Jesus! Help me! I feel myself fly into the air. I grab another breath and then and sucked back down. Wait? What was that my head just bumped? I tear through the surface and grab hold of the boat. Lifting myself in, I flop, causing the boat to sink a little more. But Iā€™m safe. Thankyou Jesus!! I look behind and see the man, still on the surface, anger on his face. He hoped I had drowned. But I didnā€™t. Jesus saved me. I was safe. I am going to live a longer life. Today isnā€™t my day to die.




The Bible says in Jeremiah 33:3:

ā€œCall unto me and I will answer theeā€¦ā€


If you need God today people, call on him. You donā€™t know when you will die. Where is your eternal destination?
