WOW! You Guys Are GOOD!

I wanted to share this with y’all as soon as I could. I hope that this story will make you as happy as it is making me. Remember the story about my friend who thought it was funny that I believe that God is one and three. (If you didn’t, then read the story below; it’s a good one) Well, early this week I had dinner with the same family again. My one friend, that speaks some English, and I were sitting outside and talking when the call to prayer went off. He asked me if I was going to pray, and I responded that I pray to Jesus Christ and I don’t need to go anywhere to pray. He then brought up the point again and asked “How can God be three, God is One?” There was a pause and then he asked, “How can God be man? God is God!” I then reminded him about Adam and Eve and how Adam was created in His image. There was another pause and then he asked about Mary, “How can God have a mother?” I responded that Mary is not God’s mother, Mary gave birth to Jesus, but Mary was a virgin. There was another pause, this one a little longer, and little more uncomfortable between us. He then asked if I believed if God is just up there (he was pointing up, because every time I said God, I pointed to the sky.) I said “No, God is everywhere. It says in the Bible that God is in all and through all.” There was another pause and he then asked me about my bible, and if he could read it. I responded saying that I have many bibles and that I would love to give him one but right now the only bibles I have are Pulaar and English (he speaks Wolof and doesn’t speak Pulaar). I asked him, “Do you want one in English, French, or Wolof?” He told me French, and I told him that will get one, and I would give it to him next time we see each other. There was another long pause, then he went to answer that call to prayer. Well, the next time I saw him was yesterday as I saw him pass by my house when he was walking home. I gave him the Bible and showed him the four gospels and told him they explain how Jesus is God. I then told him that John was my favorite of the four gospels and I like how it explains Jesus. He then told me that he will read John and then started to walk home. Please pray for Bob (don’t laugh, that’s actually the first three letters of his name). My friend Bob now has the Truth in his hands and it is between him and God to see if he is ready to accept that God is three.
When my friend Bob went off to pray I was just sitting there by myself, in shock over the conversation that just happened and that he had just asked me for God’s word. I was in shock trying to remember what just happened and then I remembered my blog and that shortly after reading about him, many of you stopped to pray. I could picture in my mind so many of you reading and praying. I knew that this conversation happened because of those prayers that came from each one of you reading this blog. I could do nothing but laugh and say, “God is Three!!! And God is Good!!!”
