Who can save you?

I studied in a Bible reading group. One day we discussed a topic about how to follow God.

God said we can discard everything except God because he will stay with us forever and look after us. Our study mates argue some tiny different meaning in these paragraphs. But I just think another question. What we should do besides God’s care? I heard a joke.

There was a flood. A man climbed up to roof and waited for a rescue. He didn’t worry about his situation because he believes god. He thought: I don’t worry, God will save me.

Then there was a helicopter. But the man said: I didn’t take it. I believe God. God will save me. Helicopter left and the water was rising.

Then there was a ship. The man said: I didn’t take it. I believe God. God will save me. Ship left and the water was rising.

Then there war a big floating wood. But the man said: I didn’t take it. I believe God. God will save me. The wood left and the water was rising.

Finally, this man died. He was very angry when he saw God. He asked: God, I believe you. Why you didn’t save my life. God was cross: Dear, I sent out a helicopter, a ship and a floating wood. Why you didn’t take one?

So I think nobody can save your life even God, if you didn’t want save yourself.

Little Boy and Big Thinker

My son is just 3 years old. But he has many questions now. Some questions are very interesting and are hard to answer.
One day, he asked: Dad, when I grow up, how about you?
I said: I will be old.
Then, he asked: How about you when I am old?
I thought for 1 second, and answered hardly: I will die.
He didn't say anything for this and kept playing with his toys. After 1 minute, he said suddenly: It will be great if we live forever and never die.
I didn't cry at that moment because I am an adult.
