Often in the work I do on the streets, I meet someone I really want to help, but I have no idea how to do it.
And then God makes a way.
I have a dear friend, Lucas, who helps me every chance he gets. He's got a heart of gold, and he's working hard to get back on his feet.
One of the things he mentioned to me last week is that he's trying to get his driver's license reinstated and get his car fixed so he can have reliable transportation and take the next step forward.
Between outstanding tickets and fees, we calculated it was going to take about $300 to get started. I didn't have $300 to give him, but I told him we'd figure it out. God will make a way.
And what happened next was truly miraculous!!!
We're sitting at Station House BBQ when my friend Tabatha messages me and says she has some clothing donations for me.
I tell her where we are, and she brings them by. A few minutes later, Lucas comes and tells me she wants to talk to me.
She walks back and hands me a check for $300.
She told me she had recently closed on a house, and her clients asked her not to buy them a closing gift, but instead to donate that money to an organization helping people.
And the man she sold the house to said he knew what it was like to have nothing because he had once been homeless himself.
You can't make this stuff up because God is just that
good!!
I just stood there thinking, "Are you kidding me, God?!"
Not even an hour earlier, Lucas and I had been talking about exactly what he needed to take the next step forward, and then here comes a check for that EXACT amount.
The goodness of God.
I know some people call these things coincidences, but I don't.
I know God shows up in the most unexpected ways to provide for His people. Thank you Tabatha Pankop for your beautiful gift that blessed my dear friend.
Let’s never lose sight of God’s goodness in front of us ❤️
