With God All Things Are Possible
Fred saw the car pull in front of the shelter and was immediately in the parking lot. He quickly opened the back door,panicking when he saw Cathal laying in the back seat,eyes closed.
"Shhh..."Holly said,"He's exhausted. "
Only sleeping,Fred thought,sighing in relief.
Gently, Jack and Sean got Cathal out of the car and into a back room where there were several cots set up.
They laid Cathal on the first cot. Fred looked at his young friend who had not stirred,but was sleeping peacefully. The events of the day and the sight of Cathal's face caught up with him and Fred quietly began to cry. He was relieved to see Cathal safe and in one piece. He had been so worried about him.
Anna patted Fred's shoulder. Everything would be fine,Fred thought.
Fred looked up at Sean,Jack, and Holly."Thank you...thank you so much." He said through his tears.
Jack smiled,"No,thank the Lord, He 's the one who showed us where Cathal was."
Fred looked at Jack questioningly.
Jack continued,"We were going in circles...we couldn't find him on our own...so we prayed, and God showed us where he was."
Fred nodded. He finally understood the difference. These people were happy,peaceful. They weren't alone-they had Jesus. He had never met a "Christian" before,at least not one that actually lived out their faith. Fred thought about this. If these people were happy, peaceful and never alone...well it was something he wanted.
After several long hours of questions,Fred,satisfied asked the most important of the night,"So,how do I get what you have?How do I meet Jesus?"
Anna smiled,"All you have to do is ask to meet Him."
Fred looked at her confused again.
Jack spoke up,"It usually goes something like this-Dear Lord Jesus,forgive me of my sins,I need you to be my savior,I ask you to come into my life right now ."
"Is that it?",Fred asked.
"That's it.",Jack replied.
Fred eagerly repeated this simple prayer and immediately felt a peace and a joy unlike anything he'd ever experienced. He couldn't help but smile.
Sean,Jack,Holly, and Anna all grinned back at him.
"Now what?"Fred asked joyfully.
"Well,it is quite late."Anna yawned.
"What time is it?"Jack asked.
"Almost 4 a.m."Sean answered.
Fred turned and looked at Cathal,who was still sleeping peacefully.
He wished,hoped,prayed that when he woke up Cathal could meet this wonderful Jesus,too.
