The first time we met,
I was going to need a lift to a morning service.
I asked my pastor if he could arrange a lift or if he knew anyone I could arrange a lift with for the following Sunday service.
His name was Christo. Blue green eyes; adored the Lord and just a year older than me. I saw him at church always bringing people to the Lord. We had never spoken and I wasn’t bothered until ‘the witness’.
The ‘witness’ that he was my husband.
It happened, when he first picked me up for the Sunday service. I remember it vividly.
I was sitting next to him while he drove and I gazed outside the window, daydreaming.
It was like an introduction, with the Holy Spirit tapping on my shoulder and simply saying, “This is your husband.”
I remember my thinking, “I’m not in the mood for this. Maybe the enemy is trying to trick me? I’ll pray about it.”
And when I prayed, all said was, “Look Lord, I’m not in the mood for this. Please just take it away.”
It didn’t go away.
Then I prayed again, “Lord, I don’t have time for this. Let’s just move on please.”
It didn’t go away.
Then I prayed again, “Father God, if this 'witness' is not of you please remove it from me in the name of Jesus.”
It didn’t go away.
Then i asked myself,“Is this ‘witness’ God or is it not?”
Then, ‘Time told the story’:
Five years later, we were married with two beautiful girls.
ps:God is not a man that He should lie, so when in doubt say a little prayer and let time reveal the source.
If you died today, are you absolutely certain that you would go to heaven? You can be! TRUST JESUS NOW

Lydia, How beautiful it is when the Saviour brings clarity to our day. The lesson in prayer is a much needed one for often we forget to pray for guidance and then wait for that leading. My story is similar but slightly different in the revealing. At the time, I didn't have the understanding of prayer but thankfully its different today. Prayer is an essential part of our journey with Christ. Thanks for reminding us.
