A teenage girl about 17 named
Diane had gone to visit some
friends one evening and time
passed quickly as each shared
their various experiences of the
past year. She ended up staying
longer than planned, and had to
walk home alone. She wasn't
afraid because it was a small
town and she lived only a few
blocks away.
As she walked along under the
tall elm trees, Diane asked God to
keep her safe from harm and
danger. When she reached the
alley, which was a short cut to
her house, she decided to take it.
However, halfway down the
alley she noticed a man standing
at the end as though he was
waiting for her. She became
uneasy and began to pray,
asking for God's protection.
Instantly a comforting feeling
of quietness and security
wrapped round her, she felt as
though someone was walking
with her. When she reached the
end of the alley, she walked
right past the man and arrived
home safely.
The following day, she read in
the newspaper that a young girl
had been raped in the same alley
just twenty minutes after she
had been there. Feeling
overwhelmed by this tragedy
and the fact that it could have
been her, she began to weep.
Thanking the Lord for her safety
and to help this young woman,
she decided to go to the police
station. She felt she could
recognize the man, so she told
them her story. The police asked
her if she would be willing to
look at a lineup to see if she
could identify him. She agreed
and immediately pointed out the
man she had seen in the alley
the night before. When the man
was told he had been identified,
he immediately broke down and
confessed. The officer thanked
Diane for her bravery and asked
if there was anything they
could do for her. She asked if
they would ask the man one
question. Diane was curious as
to why he had not attacked her.
When the policeman asked him,
he answered, "Because she
wasn't alone. She had two tall
men walking on either side of
her." Amazingly, whether you
believe or not, you're never
alone. Did you know that 98 of
teenagers will not stand up for
God, and 93 of the people that
read this won’t repost it?
Repost this if you truly believe
in God.
