When God intervenes, he always
turns our mess into an amazing message - truth that tells of
transformation. I could wax lyrical about God's grace, all day long. But
sometimes it's helpful to hear what others have to say about him too. I
received this email earlier:
"Hi
mate,
Walking
from the car park to work this morning I had the most unexpected picture. I saw
a young man who, as a boy, had been without a proper father, his Dad being a
drunk with whom he had had little meaningful contact over his formative years.
The young man had struggled with life and had been in and out of trouble; his
single Mum had not been able to cope with his mood swings and anger.
What an
amazing God we have who cared enough about me and you that he kept on
whispering in my ear that what I was doing was not His plan
and that He had something far better for me to do – not least to help make sure
that my older son grew into a fine Father himself.
Looking
forward to seeing you later.
Dad
xx"
Life
could (and certainly would) have gone down a very different path, had God not
stepped in.
