A few nights back, Rosemary sat on our couch in our house and we had a powerful conversation about her future and fear and God's plan for her life. We talked about her past and the freedom of Christ and making choices. And we talked about growing up and what maturity in faith looks like.
And she said that wanted her choices to be choices led by Christ. And that God has been speaking. And that even though she has lived fully aware of the words of the Bible, she hasn't allowed them to transform her thinking or her choices.
And she asked me to pray with her...a prayer of salvation. The sweetest of prayers. One that will change her life. Accepting Jesus into the inner places where walls have been built, filling her with his love. Desiring transformation. Wanting the truth to invade her heart, where previously she only allowed her intellect to control.
That night, I became her sister, not just her aunty.
God is good.
