I love seeing God work to transform people's lives! You don't have to be a pastor to see this happen but as a Pastor I feel like I get a front row seat to it sometimes.
A week and a half ago, a student
stayed after on a Wednesday night to talk with me about the state of his mother
and father. This student painted a vivid
picture of a husband and wife who live in the same home but do not act as if
they are married. He shared that he had
never seen or heard them fight or argue but could tell that they were no longer
“in love”. He also shared that it seemed
that they were going to be getting a divorce sooner than later. He told me that he had been given a free
ticket to the Family Life Conference from another student in his small group whose
parents are involved in the leadership of Family Life and that he was going to
go home and ask his mom and dad to attend the conference. Honestly, from the picture he painted earlier
in our conversation I thought that there was no way this couple was going to attend
something like this. That’s when it hit
me, this is why we need to pray for God to do a miracle in this couple’s
life. This student and I prayed that
night for God to do a miracle and have his parents accept the invitation and
not only go but be transformed in their relationship.
