Chat

The other day, one of my youth sent me a message that a friend of hers needed someone to talk to.  Tonight, after going back and forth trying to get connected, we finally had a chance to chat.  I spent the evening chatting with her about God, the Bible, and her life.  

I had actually met her last year.  At the time she shared some views that seemed to be attention getting.  I didn't get a chance to talk to her in the situations we were in then.  So, I was really surprised when I got the message that she needed someone to talk to.  And, I was grateful for the chance to talk with her.  She had a lot of questions for me.  She had been to several churches and is confused about a lot of things.  What she's not confused about is that she wants to do what is right and to do what God wants.  That is far from the impression she gave me last year.  It was obvious that she has been looking for God.

Several things struck me tonight.  First, I am grateful to my youth who feel they can share God with their friends and have the conversations with their friends.  I am grateful that when there are times they need some help with that they are comfortable asking me and they love their church and want to tell them about it.  Secondly, I love when I have teens who make me think, who challenge me, and who inspire me to look for the answers.

So, where was God today?  He knew that conversation needed to happen.  And, He's been working on getting that to happen for awhile.

Romans 5:1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 

Blessings,
