A young university student washomefor thesummer.
She had gone to visit some friends one
eveningand time passed quickly as each shared their
various experiences of the past year.She ended up staying longer than planned,and
had to walk home alone.
She wasn't afraid
because it was a small town and she lived
only afew blocks away.
As she walked along under the tall elm trees,
Diane asked "God" to keep her safe from
harm anddanger.
When she reached the alley, which was a
shortcut to her house,
she decided to take it.
However, halfway down the alley she
noticed aman standing at the end
as though he were
waitingfor her.
She became uneasy and began to pray,
askingfor "God's" protection.
Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness
and security wrapped round her,
she felt asthough someone was walking with her.
When she reached the end of the alley,
shewalked right past the man
and arrived homesafely.
The following day, she read in thenewspaper that
a young girl had been raped in the same
alley justt
wenty minutes after she had been there.
Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and
the fact that it could have been her,
she began toweep.
Thanking the Lord for her safety and to
help thisyoung woman,
she decided to go to thepolicestation.
She felt she could recognize the man,
so she told
them her story.
The police asked her if she would be willing
to lookat a line up to see if she could identify him.
She agreed and immediately pointed out
the man she had seen in the alley the night before.
When the man was told he had been
identified, heimmediately broke down and confessed.
The officer thanked
Diane for her bravery and
asked if there was anything they could dofor her.
She asked if they would ask the man onequestion.
Diane was curious as to why he had notattackedher.When the policeman asked him, he answered,
"Because she wasn't alone.
She had two tall men walking on either side of her.
"Amazingly, whether you believe or not,
you're never alone.
Did you know that 98% ofteenagerswill not stand up for God?
Repost this as "Love vs. Sex" if you believe.
If youdon't, then you'll have terrible
luck for ayear,if notlonger! Never doubt the power of God!!
