Angry Conversations With God (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Jack knew he’d been saved, and he knew it was God who had saved him. But why? Did God expect more of him now? Was there some Big Task for him to accomplish? Jack needed to know. And I didn’t have the answers. I didn’t need to invite him to church. He asked to come. I thought about the people in the Old Testament who made bonehead mistakes: Moses murdered an Egyptian; Jacob stole Esau’s blessing; Abraham tried to pass his wife off as his sister. But God redeemed their mistakes. Sometimes God even made it look like he had planned it: like when Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery. Years later Joseph came to power and was able to save his brothers from starvation. “You meant evil against me; but God meant it for good,” Joseph declared (Gen. 50:20 NKJV). Maybe God was redeeming my mistake. Maybe Jack would open up; maybe he’d become the Jesus-loving hottie who liked my friends, went to church, and married me. What I had meant for my stupidity, God meant for redemption.
