Robby's Letter

12/21/2005

 
I seldom share letters I receive from friends because I wish to respect their privacy. Once in a while, however, I will get correspondence that is very uplifting. And to not share it may mean a loss for someone who needs to hear words of encouragement...
Therefore, with permission from my friend, I am going to present most of his recent letter:

Dear David,
It was great hearing from you . . . a lot has happened
in my life since I last wrote.

I got married this past June. The Lord brought this
wonderful person into my life . . . we dated for about two
years and this summer we felt is was the right thing to do . . .

I never thought marriage would have happened to me.
I haven't shared this with you, but 25 years ago, when I
was nineteen, I was in an automobile accident where I
lost the use of my legs. I go from playing high school
and college basketball to being a paraplegic. It sounds 
like this could end up being a tragic story, but praise
the Lord, through my accident, I found Jesus . . .

I grew up a good kid. I believed in God, but I had never
given my life to Him. Lying in the hospital, I began to think
on what was real and true. I knew I had been saved from
death and I knew God had his hand on my life.

I accepted Christ into my life and my life has never been
the same . . . I never dreamed that I would get married,
I guess that was a lack of faith on my part. But with God,
all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). He has so blessed
my life beyond all I could think or imagine.

One thing I've learned, our heavenly Father cares about
every little detail in our lives. He knows our every want and 
need, and He wants so very much to bless us. He gets 
pleasure out of giving us the desires of our heart.

I am so thankful, every day, for what He's done and for 
what He's going to do in my life. We do serve a great and
mighty God.

I am thankful for you, David. I believe you have a powerful
ministry and through you lives are being changed. You have
an awesome message of hope . . .
