encouraging moments

Last year, my eldest brother (the one pictured here) became a Christian. To see the way in which God transformed a stubborn 30year old has been amazing.
He has never held a job for more than a couple of months, yet now he is in his second semester at uni. As I sit here and look over at his study space, I am encouraged to see that plastered around his computer are prayer points. He has changed from being an inward looking man, to being a man who prays that he would be outward. He has changed from being a man who would rarely talk to anyone, let alone talk about God, to being a man who seeks to have conversations wtih you and wants more than anything to talk about God.

I am encouraged. I hope this encourages you. For he was someone who was completely anti-God for the first 29.5 years of his life!!! Take hope. You may have someone in your family or friends who seems to be so completely closed to the good news of the gospel, but nothing is impossible for God.
