Everything works together for good for those that love the Lord, but most times, we encounter crisis that leaves us in doubt about God's love for us. In Faith's case, she felt betrayed by God and saw no reason to be of service to him after all she had gone through; despite being faithful to his commandments and living a decent life. Just take a minute to imagine yourself in Faith's shoes to see reasons why she fell from the God addict she used to be before the rape incident and new HIV health status. Too bad!
Immediately Faith sighed and angrily turned off the radio station that was airing gospel ministration, David's attention was instantly drawn to her actions to the extent that he didn't even know when he parked his car beside the road. Without being told, David knew the reason for Faith's actions but he wasn't happy that she had let her grudge for God eat deeply into her heart. At that moment, he asked God for wisdom to handle the situation because it seemed beyond him.
"Why did you turn off the radio? I thought we have been through this before and I begged you to let go of every grudge you have in your heart for God. This anger isn't doing you any good but would only harm you. For how long will you continue hurting yourself this way? Please, this has to stop because I can't sit and watch you turn your back against the only person that can heal you and restore your health. This has got to stop" he bluntly said.
When David was done talking, he waited for Faith to say something in return but she was mute. With no response from her, he turned the car engine back on and was about to drive off when she suddenly spoke. "Stop the car!" She commanded, "Why?" David asked, "Nothing, just stop the car, I want to take a taxi home" she replied.
There and then, David realized that he might have stroke a nerve that resulted to Faith's anger towards him but he wasn't going to let her stay angry, neither was he about to let her out of his car just because she said so. Without hesitating, he drove off and locked all doors from the control button in the driver's seat.
On seeing that David had locked the door and was driving in high speed, Faith began to cry bitterly. She cried nonstop till they got to her house. When David arrived at her destination, he parked beside her gate and turned off the car. Without interrupting, he allowed her to cry till she had emptied her heart of every pain and agony she was feeling at that moment. It was painful to watch her cry but he had to give her space to vent her anger before having a word with her.
It's been 14 minutes since David arrived at Faith's house and by that time, she was done crying and began to sob. He handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears away but she rejected it and used her palms to wipe her tears away. David felt hurt knowing that his actions might be the reason for her pains but there was nothing he could do at that moment because the deeds had already been done. When she finally regained herself, he broke the silence.
"I'm sorry for talking to you the way I did, it wasn't intentional and certainly wasn't aimed at causing you pain. It's just that I feel you are making a big mistake by pushing God away from your life. I know you are hurt by how bad your life turned out to be after everything you did to please God, but also remember that while you pleased God, you were also living a life you were proud of. I might not have the answers to all the questions you seek, neither do I know why God allowed a fate like this befall you, but all I want to tell you this very moment is that everything happens for a reason. Just trust that there's a reason for what you are going through right now. It might not make sense now but it definitely would someday. Free your heart from every burden and trust God; who knows? Your healing might be around the corner. I hate to see you this way, so please get yourself together and retrace your steps back to God. I really care about you and certainly want the very best for you dear" David calmly said. When he was done talking, it felt as though the whole atmosphere suddenly became calm. One could tell that God's presence was evident in the car and emotional/mental healing had taken place in Faith's life.
At that moment, Faith was touched beyond words could say. It's evident that David's words touched her heart. Due to lack of words to express the gratitude in her heart, she look towards David and said the most heartfelt "Thank You" ever. David told her not to mention and assured her that he would help her retrace her steps back to God. It was a huge commitment and goal but he was determined to be by her side and help regain her love for God.
