Float to Jesus

When life is going, and we are just sitting back like we are floating on a river. We think that the river will stay the same. Straight, slow, and nothing will change. But thats not the way a river is. We all know it curves, it picks up speed, there are logs and branches in the river, as well as deep parts. But in life, we expect the river to stay the same and to never change. But thats not the way it is and God makes us aware of that. During our lifetime the river changes. Sometimes the currents are fast and rough. Sometimes we have to be careful of the branches and logs. But most of the time its the paddling around the trees and making those corners that get to us. They take us further out of the way we want to go, and as humans we get upset over that. Our river should be straight not bendy like this. Thats how life is. One moment everything is fine, the next we are holding on to dear life, in a panic, rushing around while just trying to survive. And while this is going on we look to other things to help us get by. For example, alcohol abuse, drugs, sex, things we normally wouldn't do if our river was calm and straight. And it's at these times that we cry out for God to help us and make things better, but before he can answer, we already gone. We went to the things that take us away from our river of life. The side items that we know we arent supposed to do but the current drags us into it. No, the current doesnt drag us. We let the current drag us, because our faith is not strong enough. Like Peter and the fishing boat. Jesus is calling us out of current and to come to him, but without having the faith we need to have, we get pulled back in. So while we're in our whirlpool of sin, if you will, God is snapping his fingers saying hey, look this way. I am right here. Get out of there and back into your boat and I'll meet you there. Reach out your hand and I will grab you from that whirpool that Satin has dragged us into, and I will dry you off. Its almost as these things are to remind us we are not immortal or powerful, but without God in our lives, the world would be so painful and so sad that there would be no current in the river for us to travel. There wouldn't even be a stream to God, but rocks that block our way to him. So if your river is ever fast and unsafe, just remember that God is right with you, and he is saying that it will be alright. Trust in me young one, and I will forever guide you to the stream of God.
