Divine Appointment
Divine appointments happen! Ashley is a student at Southern University of New Orleans. God was preparing her heart to meet some students from the Midwest who “happened” to be on a Cru Spring retreat in New Orleans.
Abby and Danielle, two Cru students, started a conversation with Ashley and asked her about her spiritual background and journey. She told them that she had been researching and comparing religions for the last few months, but was unsure about what is true and what is just fairy tales. She mentioned that “the list of things it seems like I need to do to become God’s child just keeps getting longer.”
Danielle explained to her that becoming a child of God isn’t about what we can do to earn good standing with Him, but it is Jesus’ death and resurrection that pays for our sin and allows us to receive forgiveness and be born again as a child of God. She continued by saying, “You know, what Jesus is inviting us to is not rules, but a relationship. You can become His child by putting your faith in Jesus and what He did for you. Does that sound like what your heart desires?” Ashley got a huge smile on her face and replied “Yes!” God is at work drawing students into a relationship with Himself! Thank you for being such a integral part of what God is doing in the lives of students!
