God’s Timing

by Vonette Bright

“Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage, with great patience and careful instruction. 2 Timothy 4:2

Erna pressed the button to hear the phone message.
Tears flowed as she recognized a voice she hadn’t heard in 31 years.

The friends had disconnected after Erna’s family moved away.
The message said, “Hi, this is Jenny.  You don’t know what you’ve done for me.”
More tears flowed as the women re-established their friendship over the phone.

Jenny had been distraught, believing God hadn’t used her.  What purpose had her life served?

Then she discovered how God had used her in Erna’s life.

You see, Jenny had been instrumental in bringing Erna to Christ!
In God’s perfect timing, Jenny was given this reminder.  Her life DID have meaning!

Dear one, allow God to use you to show His encouragement today.
