My Living Hope
On April 28th 2019 (almost three weeks ago), God had put a hardship in my life that hit all of a sudden. On the way to church that morning, I was driving with one of my best friend's and my younger brother. As we were on our way, we saw our friend and he had gotten into a terrible motorcycle accident right in front of our eyes.
When the accident happened, I quickly had anxiety and tears flowed down my face as my whole body was shaking. After my younger brother guided me through pulling over to the side of the road to make sure our friend was, I hopped out of the car running into the middle of the street to see if my friend was okay. Many others stopped to make sure he was okay. The whole time I was on the scene my friend was unconscious... I had literally thought that I lost my friend right at that scene. After his family and the emergency response team was there, I left the scene with my friend and we headed into church.
During worship, the whole time I was shaking, bawling, and could not think... The whole time I was thinking that my friend had gone to be with God. I was scared and so shaken up. The last song that was played during worship was: My Living Hope by: Phil Wickham. God totally used this song in my life. I was able to sing this song to God and just surrender everything to God right there even though it hurt. This song was such a good reminder to me of how God is our Living Hope. He is the only One who can save us. He is the One that is always there, He is sovereign and has a plan for every single little thing that happens in life. Right then and there I was reminded that God was in control of that situation. I was reminded that God was in control of my friend's life and that God had a plan for everything that had happened. All I needed to do was trust the Lord!
After a few minutes, I had texted my parents who were with my friend and the family of my friend at the hospital. I had texted with my parents to see if I could leave church and go spend time with their family to just be there for them.
The rest of the day, we all spent time at the hospital and I got to see my friend.
God is so AMAZING! God is so SOVEREIGN! God was so merciful. He spared my friend's life and now my friend is recovering. We have all just been praising the Lord! The whole situation could have been a lot worse than it was. And yet, God had taught many people (including me) things in this situation.
I want to encourage you... Right before this accident happened with my friend, I was really struggling with my relationship with God. I was not sure if God was really there for me, I was not sure if He really cared. I felt that maybe I was too much of a mess for God. However, after this accident, I was reminded how amazing God is and how sovereign He is and how merciful He is. If you are struggling in your walk with God, if you do not have a personal relationship with God, etc. I urge you to ask God into your heart. Seek Christ! He wants you in His life. He is truly amazing!
