Maharajji (Neem Karoli Baba) told this story, i'm recalling from memory since i couldn't find it again:

A pundit used to daily worship Shiva's murti in a temple and also another man used to daily verbally insult the same murti, blaming Shiva for all the wrong doings in the world. Once there was a flood, the pundit didn't cross the river to get to the other side to the temple. However the other man crossed the raging river, went to the temple and began insulting Shiva again saying that "What will you do now, today even your pundit hasn't come". Shiva immediately appeared before him and said "You're my true devotee. Ask me for whatever you want".
