Heavenly Fathers Power
A teenage girl about 17 had gone to visit some friends 1 nite & time passed quickly as each shared stories of the past year. She ended up stayin' longer than planned & had to walk home alone. She wasnt afraid because it was a small town & she lived only a few blocks away. As she walked along under the elm trees Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm or 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 & began to pray asking for God's protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness & security wrapped around her. When she reached the end of the alley she walked right passed the man & arrived home safely. The following day she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just 20 mins. after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy & the fact that it could have been her she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety & 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 line up to see if she could identify him. She agreed & immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told that he had been identified he immediately broke down & confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery & asked her if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man 1 question. Diane was curious as to why he did not attack her. When the police asked him he answered "Because she wasn't alone, she had two tall men walking on either side of her." Amazingly whether u believe or not, ur never alone.
