dIVINE pROTECTION

Do You Believe This???

A girl went to her friends house and she ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small COMMUNITY and she lived only a few blocks away.

As she walked along under the bike trail 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, askingfor God's protection.

Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round 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.'

No.

So the moral of the story is what? That the second girl wasn't worthy of protection or that she didn't pray hard enough?

While I'm sure this was intended as an inspirational story, it sure doesn't read that way, does it?

MM, thanx for this inspirational story. Prayer is a very powerful tool,the Bible is like the instruction manual, Jesus is like our extension cord, and God is the Power. The Holy Spirit can help us when can't remember the instructions. God bless you and yours.

I'm sorry. I apologize. I was being a jerk.
