Linking with Charlotte at Spiritual Sunday & Elizabeth at Just Following Jesus & Laura at Beholding Glory
He was a friend. Not a close friend but someone I had known for awhile. He had a charm....a way about him that engaged people, attracted them to him. He stood up in meetings and captivated many with his stories of faith and God and miracles.
But I found out the truth about him. He was a con....a liar.....someone who took advantage of people under the guise of faith.
A few months ago....he stole something from me that he insisted was his. He hired a lawyer and tried to scare me. I walked around confused.....and worried even though I knew he had taken what belonged to me.
I prayed. Friends prayed. Then it happened. This guy called. He heard about what this man was doing. He mentioned it to his friend, a high powered lawyer. He told me to call her. I did. She listened to my story and then said.....she'd represent me free of charge. I don't know her or that man who called....but I know He heard....and arranged all this.
Something else....out of all this mess.....I've become good friends with two people who have rocked my world for the better. One has become a mentor and friend and the other, a film maker and kindred spirit has become a good buddy.
I learned that sometimes those things that pull us down are the very things He uses to rise us to the next level.
I’m in a storm.I'm willing to fight. I’ll overcome with You by my side
