FAITH

A young man who had been raised as an atheist was

training to be an Olympic diver.

The only religious influence in his life came from

his outspoken Christian friend.

The young diver never really paid much

attention to his friend's witnessing, but he heard it often.

One night the diver went to the indoor pool

at the college he attended.

The lights were all off, but as the pool had big

 skylights and the moon was bright,

there was plenty of light to practice by.

The young man climbed up to the

highest diving board and as he turned his back to

 the pool on the edge of the board and extended

 his arms out, he saw his shadow on the wall.

The shadow of his body was in the

 shape of a cross.

Instead of diving, he knelt down

and finally invited Jesus into his heart.

As the young man stood, a maintenance man

 walked in and turned the lights on.

The pool had been drained for repairs.

I can do all things through Christ which
strengthens me. Phil 4:13
