Without God you`re like fish on land

Friends, do you know why sometimes fish come out and jump above the water and then return into it. Fish are very intelligent beings, they know pretty well that God created them, gave them a huge ocean to swim freely in it and that’s why they often come out of the water to look to the sky and thank the Creator for giving them water and food to live in the vast ocean.  Once a shoal of fish was jumping above the water and a single fish passed by and asked mockingly “Why do you, while jumping above the water, say: “Thank You, God, Glory to You!” The fish from the shoal looked to the proud single fish and one answered: “We do that to thank our Creator, who takes care of us and gives us water and food because without it we will perish.” What kind of God? – said the proud single fish – water just exists and so does food and you’re being grateful to the wind. I do not accept your God and will never pay any respect to Him, because water and food will always be there for me. Your God doesn’t exist, here, I swim just like you and jump freely and thank no one, I don’t accept God, but I have water and food to live.” And so the fish swam away. …Swimming proudly, jumping through the vast ocean, suddenly the single fish, which didn’t accept God, found itself on dry land, started to flop around and gradually, due to the lack of water, lost consciousness and slowly began to die. In that moment God through His angel talked to the fish: “I am the Lord, God of all the fish that glorified me and were thankful for the food and water that I give them. All that I give them, I gave to You, too, but they are grateful for what I’m doing for them and that’s why I didn’t take away their water, nor their food. And because of Your pride, arrogance and disobedience to Me, I took everything from You and now You’ll die, because without My assistance nothing can exist”. The fish started to cry and plead to God: “God, forgive me, I promise never to forget that there is no God except You, that You gave me the food and the sun, that without You, God, and without Your help and Your blessing no one can live happily. If You return me back into the ocean, anywhere I pass by I’ll speak only of Your glory and of Your name and only to You I’ll pay respect.” God was gracious to the proud fish, He accepted its plea and forgave its sin and so He told to it: “Never forget that if you become too proud again and forget to glorify Me and to admit what I did for you, you’ll find yourself on land again and you’ll perish forever!” Friends, the moral of this story is the following: fish, birds, as well as all other animals have no church, nor mosque, nor saint, nor holinesses, nor do they bow to idols, nor do they light candles, they have no God Christ or Father, but have a God who gives and takes. Isn’t it time to look and to hear the voice of the birds, fish and animals and to live free like them: to have God, to honor Him in the morning and evening, bowing to the ground, so that we don’t find ourselves left on dry land like the fish and die slowly and inevitably. Everybody decides for themselves whether to accept God and to be free in the ocean of the love of God or choose church, mosque, religions and their fanatic doctrines, which separate mankind from God.

Friendly greeting: Peace to you!
