Well I will rejoice with you for Him leading you back to Himself..what freedom you must know!

I have a friend in Cal. who also was raised Catholic...we use to work together and in time she gave her life to Christ. I learned a little about the catholic beliefs then..and recall how canned her statements were...and I was still relatively a young Christian...but “thirsted hard after God”. Even then I was soaking up the scriptures like a hungry lion cub might...and He used it with her.

And guess what! Today she is witnessing to a beloved Jewish friend of hers....his understanding of what a Christian is comes from the catholics he has known..so she’s in a perfect position to tell him what’s wrong and what’s true...and he is listening with amazement! He has said he has not met a Christian like her who seems to really understand God. lol......(note: I think she’s also falling in love with this guy but he doesn’t know it.)

Amazing freedom! But it was very easy for me. I received a call from a long time friend who told me The Truth compared to what we both grew up with - some of their major doctrines. Immediately, when I was told the Truth, I knew it was Truth. I picked up the phone as a Catholic and hung it up being a believer on HIM alone! We went to my friend's church, quite a distance from us, the following Sunday because I didn't know what kind of church to even look for. Spending a year there, I then found one closer to me after many many searches.

Today she is witnessing to a beloved Jewish friend of hers

So did I! It was, also, amazing how I found him - all The Lord's doing. We both acknowledged that. Sadly, he died on Oct. 2nd of this year. What if he didn't hear? No one told him The Truth. He did know God but didn't follow any teachings after his mom died many years ago.

Yesterday, I met another Jewish person, more of a business acquaintance from years ago. I prayed over her for her health problems and she was a bit shocked, then hugged me and said I have a good attitude. :) - I don't think she knew what to make out of it. Moreso, because she was giving me the rundown on all her doctors reports, etc. - like that is etched in stone! LOL!

She is quite a bit older than me and very set in her Jewish beliefs but not her husband so much. My dearly departed Jewish friend was searching - but didn't know for what. So it was a bit easier. .his understanding of what a Christian is comes from the catholics he has known.. Same for my friend, he was married to one and all her siblings and their spouses are Catholic. He didn't get it at first, the difference between Christian and Catholic - I think because of the only common thread - Jesus.

He learned the differences quickly. Being married to a Catholic and her family and no one cared about his soul. I met his wife at the funeral, I touched on a few things about my many conversations w/her husband about Jesus! I called a week later to find out how she was doing and she immediately told me about a minister she got from the resources at the funeral home for the evening funeral service and she attended his church the following Sunday. She didn't want a priest there because her husband was Jewish but... why didn't she get a rabbi? LOL! I didn't ask her because I know God works in mysterious ways. She told her sisters about his church. He brought much comfort to her she said. But it was really The Truth being spoken that gave her the comfort.
