The Tale of Hope

Hello All my friends!
I want to share a story with you.
A while back, I asked for prayer for one of my friends, who was not a believer. Each night I say my prayers, and of course my friends(believing or not) are in my prayers. And my friend, was included. So each night, I prayed faithfully, sometimes with tears in my eyes, because I wanted so badly for my friends who aren't believers to feel the love of God.
"There are tears from the saints for the lost and unsaved, we're crying for them, come back home!"
-a quote from Leeland
So come to find out I was talking with a friend of mine, about this other friend, who doesn't believe, and she said to me, "Well here, if you want to know more about his dad and family go to this website."
So I went. And as I was reading his dad's bio, it said that he played his instruments at churches for the worship service. Wow! That's strange, I thought. Reading on in other parts of his website, his dad starts to quote scripture! Saying how, God is needed in this life....to make a long story short, his dad is a believer! I was so happy! Since his dad is a believer, he can be influenced in a good way..as my mom put it, "Maybe God was just using you to water a seed that has been planted." Yes, I think God did!
So after a few weeks of communication with this friend I never heard back, then I come across his dad's website, and find that his dad believes! God is good! HalleluYah!
This is a tale of hope, that God has special ways of using us, Thank you Lord for being who You are!!
