God's Amazing Grace

A few months ago, this guy walks into our lives. I find out he has a record and a bunch of court stuff to take care of. He knows he's messed up and wants to change. For the first time in his life he gets a steady, well paying job. He gets off drugs and stops hanging out with the wrong crowd.

Then he blows it. Doesn't pay his court fees and doesn't do the community service. Then a failed drug test. He's on the brink of going to jail, but by the miracle of God's timing, they reschedule the court date. But with the screw up, this stuff is on his record for life.

He shapes up. Turns around. Really works hard and two weeks later (today) we go back to court. Community service: Done. Court fees: Paid. By the grace of God, there's a new prosecutor who's not familiar with the case and doesn't even try to pitch a fight. He gets off with extended probation.

It's incredible to watch the grace of God in your own life. It's amazing to watch it in someone else. Please keep up your prayers. God is working on his heart, and I know he's close to accepting Him.

"1 PRAISE THE Lord! (Hallelujah!) I will praise and give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart in the council of the upright and in the congregation. 2 The works of the Lord are great, sought out by all those who have delight in them. 3 His work is honorable and glorious, and His righteousness endures forever. 4 He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; the Lord is gracious, merciful, and full of loving compassion." - Psalm 111:1-4
