God is Beautiful!

Hello All! Today's PROOF is just humbling! I had someone I help with spiritual direction come to me to share what happened to him while he was working with someone. He realized he had sat at a table at a restaurant and didn't order anything and basically used it to work with this person. He realized it and said maybe I'll buy a brownie and tea. Then he thought that he didn't need a brownie. Then he saw an older couple with four grandkids and bought them all brownies. When he walked out, he got overwhelmed with emotion. He decided to share it with me and I told him what he was feeling was God's grace! That overwhelming feeling came from a sense of gratitude to God for the grace he bestowed on him by making a wretch like he once was, a child of God. One who thinks of things like not stealing space and time from a restaurant, and rather than buying himself something he thought to do this good deed. This is something he would not have thought to do in his past but because God graced him with this new life, he got to share that amazing grace with this family. He then shared it with me and after our recovery meeting tonight as we prayed I got all emotional and tears welled up because of that same feeling of his amazing grace on me that has allowed me to become the kind of man another man comes to for help and direction. The kind of man who experienced a lot of pain, mostly self inflicted, that eventually brought me to god, was not wasted. The reason it wasn't wasted is because that pain, brought me and this man together in a spiritual relationship of sharing, helping and growing closer to God and our fellow man. Tell me God isn't real and I will raise you this and many stories like this to prove he is alive and well and very BIG! God Bless!
