There was a man who was drowning in the middle of the ocean. He called out to God saying, “Lord, save me!”. And he believed God would.
A boat came by and saw the man drowning. The captain yelled, “Hey there! Climb aboard, we’ll save you!” The man then said, “No sir, my God is going to save me.”
The captain shrugged and continued on his way. Not too long afterwards another boat comes by.
“Climb aboard, we’ll save you!”
“No sir, my God will save me!”
The man was about to drown when a third boat came along.
“Climb aboard, we’ll save you!”
“No sir, My God will save me,” the man replied is gasps.
The third boat sails away.

The man drowned.

When the man gets to heaven, he sees God face-to-face.
“God,” he says,”I cried out Your name and put my trust in you to save me, but you didn’t! Why, O my Lord? For I had faith in you like no other!”
“Child,” God replies, “Your faith was steadfast, but the gifts I sent you were pushed away. I sent 3 boats to rescue you. Yet you turned everyone down because you were expecting huge miracles to save you. You would not except My way of saving you. It is not My fault you were not rescued, but your own.”
