Grace!

Thank you Jesus for Your grace! A few days ago, I watched a man be interviewed. He was sitting in jail for armed robbery. However, his story was just a little bit different. He walked into a bank with a loaded gun. What did he find? He found a woman that started crying out in prayer and calling on the name of Jesus. He began to tear up. He told the woman he didn't want to do this, but he had no choice. The woman spoke to this young man with love and compassion. She continued to pray. He dropped to his knees. She hugged him. He asked her to pray with him. Together, they called on the name of Jesus. They were saved! His name is power! The woman reported that the prayer was simple and from the heart. The Lord heard their cry and saved them! The young man took the bullet out of the gun and did not harm the woman. He turned himself into the police. When asked about this recent situation, the young man said that no one had ever talked to him like this woman. He even went on to say that he didn't actually think it was this woman talking to him. He thought it was God talking to Him through her! The young man said that he had always believed in Christ, but he had never walked with Christ and had a real relationship with Him. This young man's name is Greg Smith. He is currently serving time in prison. Let's pray for him that He may come to know what is the width and length and depth and heightto know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that he would be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory! (Ephesians 3:17-21). Check out Bebe and Cece Winans new song "Grace." It's a sweet and powerful reminder for all of us!
