A Burning Love

Mark 11:25  “And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

I met Ms. Deane at her home that was now burned to the ground.  Although she had another place to reside, she had fond memories at this house and treasured keepsakes there that were now lost. Based on circumstances involved with discovery of the fire, there is a person that is now a suspect for committing arson of the dwelling.  Ms. Deane knows who the suspect is and believes the same person has broken into this house in the past.  As you can imagine, anyone might feel hatred toward someone for committing such a horrendous act.  

Ms. Deane says that it was not until last night during the worship service that she was able to forgive this person. At that point I shared my testimony of forgiveness with her.  As we sat in my truck, she began to cry as though she were feeling the freedom of forgiveness and confirmation from the Holy Spirit for her obedient act.  As for God’s timing, he again displayed such grace and sovereignty.  Prior to our meeting today, I set the inspection appointment one day later than usual. Without my knowledge, this allowed her to hear from the Holy Spirit the prior night in worship and experience blessed peace in her act of forgiveness.  Ms. Dean said it was a divine appointment today.  I agree.  I shared a daily Bible with her and gained a sister in Christ.


I ask for prayers for the capture of the suspect that he may placed where he could hear the Gospel, repent and believe.
