God Is Great!

A girl went to her Friends house and she ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn’t afraid because it was a small community and she lived only a few blocks away.

As she walked along under the bike trail, Amina 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 recite a prayer, 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 killed 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 God for her safety and to help the kin of the dead girl, 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 line up 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 that he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Amina for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question. Amina was curious as to why he had not attacked her.

When the policeman asked him, he answered, ‘Because she had two tall armed men, walking on either side of her’. Amazingly, whether you believe it or not, you’re not alone. GOD is always there in your heart and loves you no matter what.
