Before you read this one pause for just a moment and take a really deep breath and clear your mind of any distractions. I heard this story several years ago but I thought it would be a good one to share with you today. This story is about true power. The kind of power that can only come from the one and only true Living God, Jesus Christ. And now.... Deap breath.......
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 is 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. Seeing that image created such an unusual and strong response that 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.
Don't wait too long to talk to God. Don't let our culture misguide you about Jesus Christ. Find out and decide for yourself who Jesus really was (and is). The reality of Jesus' life lies in the fact that he still transforms lives. I know this personally to be true. Let His love change you into the person you need to be, the person God has always wanted you to be.
