On a Saturday night
several weeks ago, this pastor was working late, and decided to call
his wife before he left for home. It was about 10:00 PM, but his
wife didn't answer the phone.
The pastor let the phone ring many times. He thought it was odd that
she didn't answer, but decided to wrap up a few things and try again
in a few minutes. When he tried again she answered right away. He
asked her why she hadn't answered before, and she said that it
hadn't rung at their house. They brushed it off as a fluke and went
on their merry ways.
The following Monday, the pastor received a call at the church
office, which was the phone that he'd used that Saturday night. The
man that he spoke with wanted to know why he'd called on Saturday
night.
The pastor couldn't figure out what the man was talking about. Then
the man said, "It rang and rang, but I didn't answer." The pastor
remembered the mishap and apologized for disturbing him, explaining
that he'd intended to call his wife.
The man said, "That's, OK. Let me tell you my story.
You see, I was planning to commit suicide on Saturday night, but
before I did, I prayed, 'God if you're there, and you don't want me
to do this, give me a sign now.' At that point my phone
started to ring. I looked at the caller ID, and it said, 'Almighty
God'. I was afraid to answer!"
The reason why it showed on the man's caller ID that the call came
from "Almighty God" is because the church that the pastor attends is
called Almighty God Tabernacle!!
READ EACH SENTENCE SLOWLY AND THINK ABOUT IT.
Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.
Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you.
Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to
forget.
Don't let the past hold you back, you're missing the good stuff.
BEST FRIENDS are the siblings God forgot to give us.
When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can
look beside you and your BEST FRIEND will be there.
Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them.
