On Thursday April 2, I received a phone call that my ex-boyfriend had been chopped and taken to the hospital. I started crying after receiving this call. I cried not because I am still in love with him but because I know that he had not accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. I cried because I also know that he is not taking his medication as prescribed and so would be unable to fight for his life.
My friends in the office tried to encourage me to visit the hospital and to do my Christian duties. So I went to the bus stop. After being there for a while unable to get a bus I returned to the office. Then and there I started to reflect at the life he lives. I knew that if I went to that hospital I would drawn back there and so I began working again.
After a couple of minutes my phone rang again. It was him calling me telling me that he was at the hospital. I asked him what had happened, he disclosed that he was in a bar and a dispute between him and another took place and the man used a drinking glass to chop him in his head. He said that the doctor told him if he had spent one more minute he would have died.
Does he see this one minute as God’s grace and mercy for him to repent and ask God to enter into his life? I don’t know because I have not asked him, however I have seen this incident as a way of strengthening my life with God. Yes the devil had opened a trap for me to walk into but because of God’s Grace I was able to walk around it and out of it.
How many of us see where the Lord has taken us from but allow the devil to bring us back? How many of us have prophecy being spoken into our lives but never allow it to fulfill because we say that God’s time is too long? I know that this event was a test for me and I am glad that I was able to go around it. On Tuesday March 31 in our weekly devotion the Holy Spirit of God asked me “Where Are You?” through the prophetess. I knew that this was one of my tests. At the time I was confused not knowing how to answer and finding excuses.
I never understood what was being asked but I began to seek God’s face, searching my heart for the meaning of these words. After seeing this test and how I maneuvered through it, my heart is light. I can truly attest that no one can ever go to God and be the same again.
Thank you Heavenly Father for being the patient and forgiving God you are. You are awesome and worthy to be praised.
