This is beautiful because it is not coercion. It is love, patience, testimony, and prayer. Adam did not drag his wife to faith. He trusted God to reach her. Then God used a stranger in a gym, a church they had overlooked, and a sermon aimed straight at her struggle. People can call that coincidence if they want. I don’t. Prayer does not mean forcing outcomes. It means placing the person you love before God and trusting Him to move. A wife saying, “I am ready to get baptized,” is not just a moment. It is grace arriving.

Amen and well written. You're exactly right.

I understand that it's a relationship between God and each one of us. You can't force a relationship...I mean...if you try it won't be genuine.

I was always patient. If she needed 2 more years, I'd patiently wait.

My love what a beautiful article. So well written 😍 and from the heart. Yes, odd that I've only seen Georgia just that one time, never saw her before and haven't seen since. We'll inquire with the church on Sunday about baptism, I'm ready 🥰 thank you for your love, patience and support.

That woman could have been an Angel- taking on human form so your wife could hear her- interesting to see if she ever shows up at church- so happy for you both🙏🏻💕

I have a separate angel story. I might write about it one day.

This is wonderful. The Lord is at work. We must never, no matter what, stop praying.
