The Light Around Him

People everywhere are  feeling miraculous touches from God. Do you know why that is? It's because He loves them  very much and wants the best for His children. He wants to prepare a place for you in Heaven. Personality. According to your own tastes. Do you believe it? I do. Otherwise why would He go to so much effort to get your attention, hey? I really, truly, don't believe we won't be sitting around on fluffy clouds strumming harps, or anything as inane as that. Come on, why would a God with so much imagination and creativity as to make this world so wonderful make the next one, to say it bluntly, boring?


But, hey, I'm way off the topic I was going to tell you about this man; I'll call him Cham  and the touch he felt from God. It's pretty remarkable, AND it's true. O.K, it started out this way; his wife needed to get to work and she asked him to pick up a loaf of bread and some other things. Pretty basic,eh? Only probably is he got distracted, and ended up in the beer parlor and the money ended up in the wrong cash register. Needless to say, the wife was pretty disappointed, but a week later the same thing happened again, or rather was about to happen. He was pretty busy having a good time with his friends, same time, same location, sort of thing, when he needed to visit the restroom. Now things got pretty interesting.When he walked out he looked out and lo and behold a light was shining all around him. I don't think he paid too much attention to it at first but went to join his companions, and they were gone! He asked the waitress about them, and all she could say was that they had upped and left. Well, he decided to go searching, but couldn't find them, but he did notice that the light was still surrounding him so decided to lead it lead him. Cham followed the light in that otherwise dark night, and it lead him up to a narrow river which he decided to cross although it came up to his waist, then later across another river until it eventually lead him back home.

I believe this experience left a deep impression on Cham. He didn't always follow the Light, (God's light) as closely as He should, but he tried and God was able to bring him out of his ignorance and darkness to a closer walk with Him. He can do the same for you. Just follow the little light you have, pray and He will lead you, and me one step at a time. When we look back we will often recognise how He lead us better than we can at the moment.
