She prayed for a dress, a dress she could afford and that she could wear when she sang with her choir and her prayer was answered. God honored her faithfulness. And I, I had this blank space in a sermon that I wanted a story to illustrate.

Faith changes what happens.
Faith makes the incomprehensible, acceptable. For me, these scriptures, and others like them present one of the great mysteries of Christianity. God desires that we all be saved yet many will not be. This is a question I don t ever expect to have an answer to. For me, it is incomprehensible.
