One day, it rained very heavily in one small village. The flood began to submerge the village, but a priest prayed in the church. When the flood was already drowning his knees, a lifeguard driving a sampan came to the church and said to the priest, “Priest, come here quickly, otherwise, you will be drowned by the flood!” “No, I won’t. I believe God will save me. You can save others firstly.” After a while, the flood had reached the priest’s breast, so the priest had to stand on the altar reluctantly. At that moment, a policeman drove a speedboat and said to the priest, “Priest, be quick, or else you will be drowned!” “No, I want to protect my church, and I believe God will say me. You can save others firstly.” A little later, the flood submerged the whole church and the priest had to tightly seize the cross, which was at the top of church. Fortunately, a helicopter flied slowly towards him, the pilot threw down the ladder and shouted, “Priest, come up here, it’s the last chance, and we are unwilling to see you being drowned by the flood!” Nevertheless, the priest said firmly, “No, I want to stay with my church. God certainly will come here to save me. You save others firstly. God will accompany all the time! As a result, the rolling flood drowned the stubborn priest. When the priest went to the heaven, met God and angrily questioned, “God, I devote my whole life to serve you seriously, why are you unwilling to save me?” “How can you say that? For the first time, I sent a sampan to save you, but you intent to stay in the church; I thought maybe you are worried that it was dangerous on the sampan. For the second time, I used the ambassador etiquette to treat you and sent a helicopter to rescue you, but you were still unwilling to accept it. Therefore, I thought you were eager to come back to me hurriedly. In fact, there are many setbacks in our life, which are caused by our excessive stubbornness and ignorance. When others want to help us, as long as we are also willing to stretch out our hands, others will help us successfully. After reading this short story, do you learn much from it?
