Thankful for my freedom

About 2 years ago I have met a young lady at the Bible study. She looked so fragile and graceful. Her testimony was the most amazing one I have heard in a while. That lady have truly experienced THE REAL liberty in Christ. Satan used her for a while, but now she was free. Her "freedom speech" was so inspiring. I remember thanking her at the end for her story. At that time her husband was not a beliver. Back than she wasn't even sure if her marriage will last any longer. Her husbnad was still wearing "sin shackels" on his heart. May be 6 months later he started getting more serious about God.And now he an awesome man of God, totally different. That was absolutely amazing! I am blessed now to see how much stronger they grew in the Lord and how much their family had been transformed! Glory to God!
Yesterday I had to go to the court of this young man-husband and father of 3 little kids. His past was haunting him. (another proof that world has no forgiveness and how satan throws people away once he had enough of them). I set on the benches and listened to the judge's verdict. My heart broke as I heard the sentencing. I glanced at my friend Val, his wife- she looked so strong! I could see God's grace all over her! I looked back at her husband and all I saw is free man. Free in deed.His life is rescued by Christ, his sins are forgiven on the cross, his future is guaranteed through the blood. He is going to jail to pay off the old debt he owed to this world, but unlike many of the inmates there, he is going there as a free man and nothing will EVER change that.
After we left the court room, we all were silent. I looked at my friend and saw her smiling through the tears. She whispered, "I am excited.....I know God is up to something. Can you imagine how much better my husband will be at the end? I know God is good!" What a faith!!!!
She is right though! We saw God's mercy in the court room that day! He was facing up to 7 years, but only got 242 days! Is that awesome or what? He is able to get work release and still provide for the family! He might be able to come to church (if judge considers that "theraputic"....why don't you come , your honor, and see for yourself HOW theraputic God's presence really is ::))).....I just want to tell you- I saw God's handwriting all over yesterday and it was beautiful! Another slap on enemy's ugly looking face! Enemy meant to destroy him, but God turned the tables around!
All I could think of is the Scripture in Micah 7:8 "Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light."

I witnessed that first hand yesterday!

Please, keep that family in prayer!
