Life is beautiful

I wish I had that view constantly: Life is beautiful. Because it truly is beautiful. But sometimes we get caught up in the troubles of this life and we take our eyes off Jesus and then Life doesn't seem that great.

At the moment I can see the good in the world! Ooh, guess what.. I have an incredible testimony to share so here goes:

Last Sunday afternoon, I was listening to a preach on my laptop and was worshipping and praying when God showed me a picture of a gun. So I asked him what it meant and he said 'someone you know is thinking of committing scuicide.' So I was a little worried and said 'well where do I share this? At church? Small group?' and I felt him remind me that we had an assembly at 6th form so I thought 'well I'm not sharing it in front of everyone there! People think I'm weird enough! There's no way I'm getting up there and embarrassing myself!' And God replied 'You've been asking me to use you and this is your chance, if you say no then I will use someone else but this is an oppertunity to get involved.' So I said 'Okay, I 'll do it. If this is from you then please remind me when I wake up in the morning, if it's not then let me forget it.'

Well the next morning I woke up to a text from my friend telling me she couldn't make it to the prayer meeting that afternoon so I remembered! So I prayed 'God please give me confirmation because I'm scared!' I opened the bible and read this: 'I will praise you in the great assemblies' -How cool is that?!

So I got to college and walked into assembly where they were talking about evolution- ironic huh? Haha! Then the director of 6th form spoke about how we don't know what will happen next week and to live each day as though it were your last so I thought, well I had better do this then! So when he finished and asked if there were any more announcements, I walked onto the stage and said 'Okay, so this is where your day gets a little bit crazy because my name's Abbie and I'm a Christian, and last night God told me that there's someone here who's thinking about committing scuicide, I know this sounds crazy but if that's you then could you come and see me after the assembly has finished and I'd love to pray with you. I know it's crazy but thanks!' Well no one came to see me! Unsurprisingly though. But God had a plan still! Someone may have been saved through that and if not then I still obeyed God and at break time he did something awesome!

Loads of people came up to me and were like 'that was really weird?! Why did you do that?!' They were nice about it but all very confused! So I explained about the picture and stuff and they were like 'whoah so God talks to you?!' And two of them asked me to pray for them and I had pictures for them and then some other people were like 'So who is this Jesus guy?' and I got to share the gospel with them and say why Jesus died on the cross! How cool is that?!

So that was incroyable! :) God bless!
