THE JOURNEY CONTINUES: FEB. 24, 2024

God’s timing is always amazing and incredible. There is a young man who has been coming for help over a year now. He is divorced and has a couple of younger children. He is committed to God but struggles so much with everyday life. His belief system has been all over the place. Truly, what he knows is certainly not what he has believed about God for himself. Tragedies and life’s events have done their work on this. Only a week ago did I get a text from him telling me just how much he has seemingly grown from the help of Celebrate Recovery and his counseling.

Yesterday in the middle of a counseling session I got a text which I later read. It was from this young man mentioned. It was accompanied with a picture of him with a young lady. They have met, had a date and he was now inviting her to go to church with him tomorrow. She is also a believer. In the text message he couldn’t praise God and these ministries enough for their help. I’m smiling again as I write this thanking God for this breakthrough.

I don’t have a clue where all of this will go. I will leave this to God’s continued timing and work. What I do know is that my timing and this young man’s timing needed to be spent working on the belief that God is faithful no matter what the circumstances are in our past or present life. God’s Word is for each one of us with no exceptions. Instantly, yesterday, this young man has only praise for God. He, for the first time, is seeing himself as a man with a blessing from God. I know this ugly lie this man has lived with. I lived with it myself, and then, almost 42 years ago–God gave me Kathy and my life has never been the same! God is faithful,and yes, He will come through.
