Stephanie prayed, “God, I have sinned. I realize that I have disobeyed You and hurt You. My pregnancy is a result of my disobedience. It’s hard to accept, but I also know that You love me. You sent Your Son to die for my sins. So I ask You to forgive me right now and take control of my life from this moment on.”
After several minutes of prayer and comforting words, Jenny said, “You know you have some decisions to make, Stephanie. But I don’t think tonight is the best time. We’re all pretty emotionally drained. I suggest that we eat dinner, watch a video or two, and just be together. Would that be okay with both of you?” Stephanie agreed quickly. “My brain is frazzled. I can’t even think straight. Tomorrow would be much better.” Kate nodded.
Then Stephanie said, “I just want to say that you two are incredible. It means so much to me to have you here with me right now. I don’t know what I would have done without you.” “We love you, Steph,” Kate said. “That’s what friends are for.”
Some Christians at my college challenged me to prove that the Bible was not accurate. As a skeptic, I spent 2 years trying to do this, and concluded that the Bible that we have today describes accurately what was said and done 2000 years ago. When I then read the Bible, I saw that God wanted a personal relationship with me. I want you to see that God also wants a personal relationship with you, one that you can depend upon in your life.
