God's business is
answering prayers. I did my time in prison and when I got out in
the fall of ’91. I went to live with a friend of mine, Terry and his
family who lived out in Cambridge ON. I wanted be close to my friend
George and his family because they treated me with love and respect.
There was something different about these people. They didn’t judge
me for my short comings or my attitude toward life. This was the
same George who would sit outside of my home in Kitchener and pray
for me, even though he seen the people coming and going from my home
with drugs that they had just bought from me or were smoking with
me. This is a testimony to His glory, God answers the prayers of His
saints. George’s prayers cut through all the hardness of my heart
even though I had nothing to give him in return.
.
This had never happened to me before in life, there was always a
catch, people just don’t do things in order to give you or me a
better way in life, or so I thought. This was the opposite of what I
had seen and learned about life, after-all I was only looking out
for number one, “me.” God used George’s prayers to allow the
Holy Spirit of God to start tenderizing my heart. I lasted about
nine months in Cambridge until I ventured out to find an old friend,
or so I told myself. Real I was looking to get high on drugs because
I was still lonely. I was not comfortable by myself. At this point
in my life I could be in the middle of a crowded area and still feel
completely lonely. Anyways once I started to do the drugs, there was
no turning back. During this nine months sober, I had been invited
to see the Teen Challenge Choir perform at a church. George asked me
if I would like to go and see what living at the Teen Challenge Farm
was like. Well, I real had no choice in the matter my friend’s wife,
where I had been living, wanted me out of their house, who could
blame her. I said I was going to see a friend, I just didn’t tell
her that this so called friend of mine wanted to take my life, crack
cocaine.,..continued>>> |
