MORE PERSONAL THAN YOU'VE IMAGINED

Ken Gaub, no where near home, heard a pay phone ringing . . . and it kept ringing. Thinking it might be an emergency, he answered.

"Long distance call for Ken Gaub," the operator said.

He nearly passed out. Who wouldn't?

A woman, named Millie, had written a suicide note. She didn't want to carry through with it, but apparently felt she'd run out of options. She remembered seeing Ken Gaub on TV, and thought if she could just talk to him, he could help.

As she prayed, numbers popped into her head.

 She called.

Ken answered!

"With the millions of phones and innumerable combinations of numbers, only an all-knowing God could have caused that woman to dial that number in that phone booth at that moment in time."

As For Me

I could think someone is stretching the truth, except . . . as I read Insanity of God, by Nik Ripken, Muslims coming to faith in Jesus Christ have experienced similar happenings.

God IS that personal!
God's LOVE is that personal!
God's love FOR YOU is that personal!
We are never out of His sight, never out of His heart, never separated from His love.

Trusting and Believing,
Lonnie
