Blessed!

It all started with a change in the facebook status of a friend. His facebook status was like this "_______ (name of the friend which I shall not mention) shall bend religious rules. A lot." This struck me hard. Here was a friend, whom I knew to have just decided to come back to God, crumbling at the face of wordly temptations. I felt a tug at my heart, and decided to comment on his status. At first, he did not reply to the comment. I then chose to send him a youtube video (which I've attached here) of a worship song that spoke to me, hoping that it would speak to him.

Well God's hand was definitely upon this friend of mine, and a few days later, he replied to me on facebook through email. I quote, "hello! thanks for the message that day. i chose the world that night and was headed for ruin, but thankfully, i didn't avoid church the day after. worship was thoroughly edifying and...i was pulled back! i was just...extremely unhappy with who i was and was tempted to join the world in their ways. the temptation happens from time to time, and this time i failed to withstand it. thanks once again!"

Thank God for working in this friend, and thank God for his willingness to come back to Him too. It has been such a blessing to see how God works =) Let us continue to press on in reaching out to friends in need and showing forth God's love, and be blessing in return.

In His love,
Pat
