Yesterday I had an old friend text me about how he desperately needed prayer for something. Now, this was a friend I never expected that from... It's not because he doesn't believe in God or anything like that, but because both he and I used to be "enemies" about one year ago or so. We were probably on the worst terms we could possibly be on back then. However, I'm glad to say we're not now, and something that happened yesterday reminded me that we're on the best terms we could be on, and in fact... that was an answer to my prayer! :) Anyway, he said "You're one of few people I know that when someone comes to you and asks for some prayer you actually follow through on it." And then he followed by telling me his prayer request... and I offered to pray, of course.
That moment when the person you least expect asks you for prayer... that's an amazing thing. That simple text reaffirmed the common ground we have and we're still brothers and sisters in Christ! It's amazing to see what God can do with a mess of a relationship like this one. He can turn it into something that is used for His glory!
Prayer, Jesus and faith is the common ground that he and I share. We have our differences, we have a difficult past, and we have our own separate lives.... but we serve the same God. That unites us. No dissension anymore. We are brothers and sisters in Christ.
