“God gave him another heart…” 1 Samuel 10:9 – We all know the story of how God chose Saul to be king of Israel… Years ago, an elderly lady friend of ours shared a story. Her daughter had gotten pregnant, had a baby, and had to come home to stay with them. But the lady’s husband (the girl’s father) was furious because she had a child out of wedlock. Grandpa would never hold the baby or talk to him. It broke Grandma’s heart. So, she began to pray that “God would give her husband another heart.”
One day, as Grandpa walked by the cradle, he stopped, and the baby smiled. He leaned down, picked him up and began to hug him. He cried and cried. From that day on, he was “Grandpa’s boy.” That loved one you have been praying for, God can give him or her another heart. There is no one “bound by alcohol or drugs, or bound by hatred that God cannot change.” Be encouraged! God can even give your enemy “another heart.” Blessings! Sherry
