Chapter 7

The Week That Followed

The Enemy continued to sift John with the feelings of death. Despite this, John was enjoying some of my aspects of grace. Christmas morning, John woke up to the words of a song that said, “It’s going to take a lot of love to make this world turn out right” John could see this song for his calling, so that God could make a change in this world.

I gave John an unique opportunity to profess his faith. The Sunday following Christmas was John’s Church College and Career service. John worked on the service with another college-age woman. The theme of the service was the path to God. John was so excited about finding My way to the Father, he testified with boldness and no hesitation. The zeal was there, not knowing the learned response of embarrassment by sharing one’s faith.

John’s Bible knowledge learned through attending Church since birth could now be accessed by John’s openness to truth. During the service John shared about his understanding of what My Cross was about. John also shared the communion, as well as the offering. When the offering came back, John took a penny and shared the story of the widow that put in a little coin and yet gave more than those that shared from their wealth.

John was excited about the good news of the Cross, but also wondered how others saw My truth about why I came unto the world. John’s faith was still being attacked through the fear of death that prevailed. John’s next big step was returning to College. The family mystery would also begin to unfold even more.
