A Moment of Thinking

My CF friend, Esmeralda, only some of the youths would know, shared something that got me and the other cf people thinking, and I hope it would have the same effect on those reading this blog.

She was talking bout how she and her family went to Korea for this evangelism thingy. They were walking along the beach and everything seemed normal at first, the people playing, having fun and stuff, but it all went wrong after that. There were 4 people quite far off the beach, and they looked like they were struggling in the waters. Not knowing their language, Esmie and the others didn't had a clue what was happening and suddenly, one of them cried, "Help, help! We're drowning!"


Geez, it was much more serious than this picture.



They didn't know how to swim, but fortunately an American who was in the evangelism programme swam all the way to where the four were and managed to rescue two of them before the rescue workers came and saved another life but the good news were then shadowed by the fact that one did not survive....he drowned.

If you're probably wondering what has it got to do with you, continue reading. She then said,

"Four of the people were drowning, but only one called out for help. It's like in real life, many people are dying but they actually are not aware of it! We see our friends dying in front of us, what are we gonna do about it?"

We have God and the Bible to help us save our friends. What are we gonna do about it? We see our friends "drowning", are we making an effort to try and save them? To conclude, it's not about how many lives we are gonna save at the end of the day that's important, but did we make an effort to save lives.
