One of my closest friends lives in Philadelphia nearly 2000 miles away from. I've never seen him. We talk only on the internet. He's also adamently gay.
I always try and be there for him and he himself thanks me all the time for being a good friend. He knows his faults and proclaims them righteously. I admire him for his truthfulness. I can't help but pray for him and keep him in my heart, for I want God to work through me to him.
Well the other day he felt all hope was lost and I began the routine of softening the "blow" of the word on a true unbeliever. One that chooses not to believe. (He was raised Catholic and since being gay he is totally unacceptable to his family and church.)
Well anyways I began to just feel God through my words and I led Joey (thats his name) to believe in himself and have faith. He was tired of his job, his music career was getting nowhere, etc. He was torn.
I let Joey know that I loved him as a brother and that my God and I would always be there.
Just yesterday after our small, "pep talk" he was able to get the job he wanted and got a call from a major record label wanting him to remix one of their songs. Praise GOD!
This all without a single prayer. I just believed that God would take care of it and he did!!
It most definately was a work of God through me as I totally let go and had the Holy Spirit lead me. I was sooo excited for him and began to cry. My God is wonderful.
