A CANDLE FOR YOU
A young university
student was home for the summer.
She had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each
shared their various experiences of the past year.
She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone.
She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks
away.
As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked "God" to keep her safe
from harm and danger.
When she reached the alley, which was a shortcut to her house, she decided to
take it.
However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though
he were waiting for her.
She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for "God's" protection. Instantly a
comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped around her, she felt as
though someone was
walking with her.
When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived
home safely.
The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in
the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there.
Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her,
she began to weep.
Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go
to the police station.
She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story.
The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she
could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen
in the alley the night before.
When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and
confessed.
The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they
could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question.
Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her.
When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she
wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her."
Moral of the story:
Don't underestimate the power of Prayer!
This is to all of you who mean something to me,
I pray for your happiness.
The Candle Of Love, Hope & Friendship
