Prayers without Faith & Effort are dead words...

A Pastor, an Iman, a Rabbi, a Minister & a Pope all went on a Spiritual retreat with a select few of their devoted followers to fellowship & bridge the religious gap, Radical hate groups got wind of the trip & decided to destroy the island they went to. Just after landing a fire was set; half of the followers back tracked to the plane & flew home to safety; while the remaining half & Holy Men, kept walking to the safe side of the island. As the fire spread faster than they could walk, in a panic the other half found an abandoned boat & sailed home to safety leaving only the Five Holy Men who believed God would soon rescue them. Shortly after All Five Men died. They arrived at Heaven's gate feeling disappointed, annoyed, betrayed & sharing One question for God. The Saints let them in & allowed all Five of them to confront God with their question: "After Every soul We saved, Every Supplication We offered, as Obedient as We tried to be even down to the 11th hour standing solely by Faith; why would You let Us die?" God stood up from His throne folded His arms, shook his head & in a vexed voice said: "Let You die? Fools, I gave You common sense, sent You a Plane & a Boat but You decided to stay on the Island!". The moral of this note is: Life will give You One chance everything else You have to take. Opportunities are No good to You without Utilizing them. You have to live Everyday as if its Your Last. When Possibilities present themselves You're obligated to seize the moment; if You want to be afraid of something be afraid not to even Try & if You want to put something off until later, put off Procrastination. Stay Prayerful, Focused & Encouraged, for Failure is Not an Option. ~LuvUMuch Neciaism Copyright © July 2011
