Recently a friend of mine told me a joke that I would like to share with you.
A few years ago a sailor who had been in a shipwreck in the early 1990's was discovered to be living on a island in the South Pacific by the crew of a large oceangoing yacht. The crew had come ashore to make sure that the island was safe for the yacht’s passengers to play on for the day. They almost as amazed at the resources the island had given this man as they were that he was still alive.
The crew of the small boat that had come out to the island radioed back to the yacht to let them know about the man. The Captain answered and said that he would be right out there in the other small boat with some important items for the survivor. After the Captain’s small boat landed, he could be seen carrying a canvas tote bag toward the man who had been living on this island for over 10 years. As the bag was handed to the man, he notice that it was full of newspapers.
"With my compliments," said the Captain. "Read those before you decide if you really want to be rescued.?
Yes, some times our world seems to be bad and hard place to live. God does not promise to prevent us from experiencing the bad things or the rough parts of life. God does promise, however, to help us endure life's hardships, so that we can find true happiness in Christ.
Therefore I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities for the sake of Christ; for whenever I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:10)
