A teenage girl about 17 had gone to
visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their
various experiences of the past year. She ended up staying longer than planned,
and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and
she lived only a few blocks away. As she walked along under the tall elm trees,
Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the
alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However,
halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he was
waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for 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." Amazingly, whether
you believe or not, you're never alone. Did you know that 98% of teenagers will
not stand up for God? Repost this as if you truly believe in God. PS: God is
always there in your heart and loves you no matter what and if you stand up for
him he will stand up for you. I bet 93% of the people that read this wont repost
this.
This gave me goosebumps after reading it. This is taken from a friend's Facebook.
