Finding Truth

  Jillian was at a happy point in her life that she never thought possible.  She had her ideal dream job, loving family and friends, and had found the love of her life.
  But, then suddenly her happiness had stalled.  She was out one evening for dinner with her beau Drew.  She thought she knew him well. 
  They had been dating for over four months.  She was getting ready to bring him home to meet her parents. 
  Jillian thought it would be a great idea to invite him to her home towns gospel celebration.  All of the churches come together.  There's music, singing and hometown fun.
  But just as she mentioned the idea, she saw a side of Drew that she never seen before.  His eyes filled with intense anger.
  "Don't even try to push that stuff on me!  I don't believe!"  He said as he stormed off.
  Jillians heart broke in two.  She ached for the man she loved.  But she also ached when someone turned away from the awesome Heavenly Father that had been so good to her.
  Jillian went home and sobbed uncontrollably.  She packed her things.  She tried to call Drew.  But he wouldn't answer.  She left a message to let him know she was going home for the festival.
  The plane ride home was a long one.  Her family and friends were there to greet her and welcome her.  Jillian tried desperately to hide her pain.
  But her parents could tell something wasn't quite right.  As she was trying to unpack, they asked if there was anything she would like to talk about.
  Jillian broke down in tears and told them about Drew.  Her parents immediately took her hands and prayed with her.  They prayed for Drew.  If they were meant for each other that God would speak to His heart.
  Jillian tried to keep her mind off Drew by helping with the festival preparations.  But every day she and her family kept praying.
  The day of the festival had arrived.  Jillian sat with her family and friends waiting for the missionary to speak.
Suddenly she saw a familiar face motioning to her.  It was Drew!
  "I realize I can't live without you!" He said.  The two embraced and wept.  Jillian took him by the hand to where she was sitting.
  When the missionary gave the altar call, she reached for Drews hand.  Together they went up and knelt together.  Drew gave his heart and life to the Lord.
  Now Jillians life was complete once again.  She realized that she could only find real truth through Jesus.
  It is through that realization that the Lord called Drew to His heart and led him to be a minister!
