God opens doors 2

An aquentence said one morning that he is not an atheist more than a agnostic, but more and more he he is thankful for what Christians has done to this nation and to the western world. 

He said he is aware that a lot to be thankful for is for what the Christians has done.

He then told me a story that he thought was so emotional and I will recite it for you.

Perhaps you heard it as well.

"There’s a story of how the Cherokee would perform a right of passage for all boys before they were considered men. 

To become a man, the boy would be led into the woods at night. His father would sit him on a stump, blindfold Him and then leave him. He was told that he had to sit there all night, but he couldn’t make a sound. When he saw the sun rays through the blindfold, he could take it off and find his way back to camp.

It was tough to sit there silently. With their eyes covered, their sense of hearing was enhanced. They heard ever twig break as an animal stepped on it. They could hear the sounds of all the animals in the forest that were out at night. I’m sure they could hear the sound of their own heartbeat as they wondered whether they would be attacked. There were bear and wolfs around.

 In the morning when he removed his blindfold, he would see that his father was sitting beside him the whole night watching over him." 

I told my collegue and Im telling you that this is excactly how our father, our hevenly father is like. God is by our side, day and night. And I was very straight forward to him and said, God who we see revield in Jesus Christ.
