Hi, Pastor John:<\/p>\n
I was putting a patio door glass in today, and it measures 3′ x 6′ and is pretty heavy.\u00a0 The piece of glass I had to replace in the opening was tight.\u00a0 I measured the new glass to put in its place, and it seemed the new glass would work.\u00a0 I have made mistakes, taking for granted what I was sent from the factory would work (but it did not), and have had to cut a piece of plywood to put in its place, which would be terrible for the home owner and embarrassing for me.\u00a0 But, according to these measurements, the new glass was going to work.<\/p>\n
As I pulled the old glass out, the mainframe at the top bowed downward because of the weight of the brick above it.\u00a0 I was in trouble.\u00a0 The new glass did not fit now.\u00a0 I tried putting the old glass back in, but it did not work either.<\/p>\n
I called, Jason at the factory and asked him if he knew of anything I could do to make either of the pieces of glass work, while all along, the homeowner was standing on the other side of the glass watching me struggle to get the glass to work.\u00a0 Jason said, “I’m sorry Bill.\u00a0 I had a complaint about that just the other day with another Technician, and he couldn’t get it to work either.\u00a0 I thanked him and hung up, not knowing what I was going to do.<\/p>\n
I was soaking wet with sweat, but my options were not over.\u00a0 I prayed, “Jesus, I’m in serious trouble here, I need your help.”\u00a0 I heard the Spirit say, “Try again.”\u00a0 I put the new piece of glass back in the openeing and the glass fell into place.\u00a0 Wow . . .praise God!\u00a0 I had been working on this piece of glass for over a 1\/2 hour.\u00a0 It is tempered glass, so if I hammered or bumped it wrong, it would shatter in a million pieces.\u00a0 I even tried using a glass sanding block to shave the edges down (it did not work), but this time it went in in a few seconds.<\/p>\n
I called Jason back at the factory.\u00a0 By listening to his voice, I knew it sounded to him like I was going to tell him nothing I did worked, or I broke the glass trying to get it in the door.\u00a0 But I said, “Jason, I got it in.”\u00a0 He replied, “How did you do it?”\u00a0 I told him, “I prayed to Jesus, and asked him for his help, because I was in serious trouble.”\u00a0 He spoke back, “That’s amazing.”\u00a0 This is the same Jason to whom I told my cancer testimony about Jesus sending me a kidney stone so that the doctors would find that cancer in time.\u00a0 He said, “That’s great, Bill!\u00a0 You can depend on Jesus.”\u00a0 I smiled, because he is not religous at all, but he couldn’t deny what had happened, with the kidney stone or this piece of glass.<\/p>\n
I wanted to tie both experiences with Jason together.\u00a0 In my heart, I wanted Jason to know that Jesus is Lord over everyone and everything.\u00a0 Nothing is too hard for Jesus.\u00a0 What a great morning in the Lord!<\/p>\n
God is so good to us!!!<\/p>\n
