Life is an ocean

There is a song called The Voyage and some of the lyrics say "Life is an ocean, love is a boat. In troubled waters, it keeps us afloat." I like to change that to "Life is an ocean, God is a boat. In troubled waters, HE keeps us afloat." Imagine with me that sin is the water of the ocean. Once you decide to trust Jesus with your life, God gives you a boat. Everyone else who hasn't accepted Him are sinking in their sin, but once you do trust God, the boat keeps you alive. Without the boat, you may be able to tread water for a while, but if the waters get to rough, it's hard to stay alive. With God's boat, water may get in, like when Christians sin, but you are still afloat and no matter what happens, that boat is still yours. You may jump out once in a while because you decide you can do it on your own, but the boat is still there and it's always waiting to help save you. If you trust God, that boat will keep you afloat.
