Testimony Gala

Father, I want to thank You for Your kind grace and mercy.

Last week, I honestly thought one of my children had either been harmed or was in trouble because we couldn't reach them as they were traveling home for the holidays by bus.

They'd missed their connection which created some confusion when suddenly, the communication stopped.

It took the special grace of God to remain calm. I thank the Lord for repeatedly assuring me that the child was fine. In fact, I had to make a choice that day. It was the same day we'd learned that God is waiting on us to trust Him. There I was, facing the choice between submitting to fear or trusting that my child was safe by God's grace.

I spoke out loud to myself, saying, "FFJ, you have to choose to believe what God said." Then, I said, "I trust You, God." Not up to 10 seconds later, another family member reported that they'd heard from my child and that they were fine. They'd just fallen asleep during the trip.

God is great. He can never fail. It's just as the angel said to Mary in Luke 1:37 - For no word from God will ever fail. His word to me that day was that my child was safe and His constant reassurance was the love I needed to eliminate the fear (Zephaniah 3:17). I had to choose to believe. And once I did, He quickly proved Himself.

The God who doesn't need to but proves Himself.

The God who silences the enemy and ensures that it always fails in my life.

Lord, I thank You!
