Amazing Grace

He got saved. The kid in my class that was always angry. The kid that had no care in the world. The boy that never did his work and never listened to teachers. Although he was angry, he was a good friend. I talked to him. I talked to him about his relationship with God. He didn't have one. I began praying for him. Praying for him to this very day. If he could just see that accepting Christ would solve all his problems. I stopped talking to him about Christ and just showed him Christ's love. I asked God to help me encourage and help him to the best of my abilities. He needed God. He needed hope. He needed to be rid of despair and depression. He needed happiness. Then it happened. He wanted to live with his parents again. But his parents were being sent to jail. He loved his parents. This upset him tremendously. Friday morning, he came into the classroom in a rage and displaying a sorry attitude. He explained to the class the bad news and I immediatly began praying. I prayed that a burden would be lifted and that he would see that he needed Christ. I wanted him to have the same joy in his heart that I have in mine. He needed love. I left second period heart-broken for I knew my buddy was upset. But I knew that with God ANTHING is possible. I prayed all day long for something good to happen. The rest of the day went by and as I tucked myself into bed, he was on his knees searching. The very moment I was in my bed praying that he would be saved, he was being saved! God is so wonderful! I got the news the very next morning as I shouted in joy the news to my mother. I cried tears of happiness. I knew that another one of my friends would not spend an eternity in hell. My friend now had hope. He had joy and happiness, and the assurance of love.
