For I know the thoughts that I think
toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a
future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11,
NKJV)
It happened
without reasonable explanation. It was a God-thing, no question! Let me take
you back.
Picture
the day before Thanksgiving of 2011, accepting a seemingly ordinary friend request
on Facebook. But, it was anything but ordinary...it was extraordinary! From
that point, that friendship has turned into something I will treasure for the
rest of my life.
When
we finally got to meet in person for the first time just over 2 months ago,
that sealed it for us both.
My
point to this story? My point is that
God knew before either of us that we were going to be introduced on Facebook by
a mutual friend, who in turn has changed both of our lives. He knew that over
the months after Thanksgiving, we'd need one another's love and support like
never before.
Do
you have someone in your life that you know without a shadow of a doubt that
God placed them there? You can't explain it, but they're there each time you
need a friend? Readers, let me encourage you that if you don't have someone
like that in your life; ask God to send you that special friend you can call on
at any time of the day or night.
“Lord,
thank you so much for the friends you've placed in my life. Thank you that it
was by divine appointment that they're placed there. I ask for each of my
readers that you send a special person that they can call friend and know they
can call on her at any time. Thank You Lord! Amen.”
