Her marriage didn't turn out. He was cruel to her. Finally she took her baby and ran away. It was hard trying to live on her own. No job. No income. No place to live. But she would not go back to him, no matter what. In her struggles an amazing thing happened. She turned to God and discovered He was the All Sufficient One. The Great I Am. More than able to provide for her every need. At 30 years of age she became a Christian, was baptized, joined a church, and began growing spiritually. And now, more than twelve years later, she still lives day by day, clinging to God for her every need. Life has never been easy, but He is with her each step of the way.
We were introduced through a mutual friend. God has given us a great love for her and a desire to help. Today she came for lunch and we blessed her with a sack of cloths, two large bags of food, the audio French Bible, and a phone. She was in tears. Overwhelmed by her Father's love flowing from us to her.
We exist for people like her. And we receive so much more than we ever give. What a great joy to be instruments in the Master's hands.
