I love to see God working through my role as chaplain to the motor sports
family. One couple came and participated in pre-marriage training with me,
and would often become a little emotional and teary as I shared parts of
my story and the love of God with them.
One evening, the groom-to-be explained an incredible encounter he had experienced with God. As a teenager he was body surfing, was dumped by a
wave and had no idea which way was up. Out of nowhere, he thought, "God
help me!". A huge hand grabbed his head and pulled him to the
surface. When he looked around, nobody was there. He was convinced it was
God.
During the pre-marriage talks the couple accepted an invitation to come to
church with me - they even sat on the front row with me at Casey. During
the salvation call, the groom-to-be responded and through his tears he thanked me saying,
"I feel the love".
You cannot perceive a person's story, but when you have
opportunity to share the love of God, it always plants seeds of God's love -
and only God knows when the harvest will be produced.
