Grace

...

you don’t know what’s going on but you just feel something is bound to happen. Well, this is it.

I heard loud screaming. Seconds later I realized that it was me screaming along with my friend. I saw the car’s bumper inches away from the side of our car but it never crashed. I couldn’t understand how it didn’t crush into us. That’s just impossible. The car was fast and so close to us. It seemed like an invisible wall was separating us from the car. A wall that prevented the crash from happening when it was just a foot away. I knew it wasn’t just a coincidence or some kind of luck. It’s something so much more.

As Kristina tried to turn away from the car we almost crashed into a speed limit sign that was standing near the road on the grass. Thank God we didn’t. After she straightened the car back onto the road, we had to pull over. Calm our racing hearts. Rapid breathing. With shaky hands Kristina held on to the wheel like it was her life. We sat in silence. Processing the moment. Clearing our minds that were filled with shock and confusion. Minutes later we started to pray. That was the only way we could get comfort and peace. The only way to get our thoughts straight. That was when we understood. Grace.

We know what we see but what we don’t see we don’t know. Life is more than what our eyes can see. My eyes have never seen God, but I believe in Him. I’ve seen His creation. I’ve experienced His grace. I don’t live for myself, but I live for Him.

When the other car drove through the red light and nearly crashed into us, God revealed his grace to us. He put that invisible wall between the cars that prevented the crash from happening. You might think that that’s impossible but I believe that for my God, nothing is impossible.
