Compassionate God

John 8:8 - “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”

Our church always ends each service with a time where members can come to the altar to pray. Our altar rail spans the width of the church. Plenty of room for everyone! I always take advantage of this time because my need is ALL the time! One day a young woman visiting from the local rehab center knelt down to pray. But instead of praying she burst into uncontrollable sobbing. So I started praying for her. After a while I touched her gently on her shoulder.

"M'am, I think I hear God speaking to you. He is telling you,

I have heard your cries!
I have heard your prayers!
I will be with you.
I will take you through this thing.

Our God is sooooo compassionate! Several days later she gave her life to Jesus and was saved. But I never saw her again. I wish I knew more of the story!
