A very unique character indeed.

Don’t get your hopes up.

[Hebrews 11:6]

One of my daily prayer "targets" is the group of pastors at my church--I rotate through them, one per each day. I was praying just now, and I came across this part of the posted testimony for today's pastor:

"Finally, for the first time, I could not envision a successful life or a future. I destroyed all my relationships with family and friends due to the influence of drugs. Shortly after turning 18, I was allowed the choice of rehab over jail. The only place that would take me was a Christian program. Although I grew up, I rarely attended church and didn't know anything about God. I hated being there and was determined to do my time and get back to my life. But one day, while in small groups, the pastor shared about Jesus and the two thieves on the cross. Something clicked in my heart. I knew I needed Jesus, and I prayed and asked Him to come into my heart. I can't say I felt I had received Jesus that day; instead, I felt He accepted me."

Love those God-manufactured coincidences!
