"What Hath God Wrought?"

I have been watching someone grow through trial. For a long time, I didn't believe this person was a Christian, but the Lord rebuked me. Her behavior didn't seem to fit a profession of faith in Christ. But the Lord showed me how to love her. Since then there have been some changes, and she has even warmed up to me. Her father is at death's door, if he hasn't died by now. This woman has been a witness to her family throughout it all, and not long ago, her father asked to be baptized. Since then, her mother and sister have also been baptized. Everyone thought he would die sooner, but the extra weeks or few months have enabled them to come together as a family. The woman is a Lutheran (Missouri Synod - conservative). Stories like this abound. The Lord is in the "business" of reconciliation, restoration, and regeneration, and He brings it about in His own way and time. He has all kinds of children, and the basics of salvation are really very simple. Can't we be all about what God is doing?
