Jesus Loves You

by doanli

I was emotionally distraught over this and drove home crying

I had gotten impatient waiting for “Mr Right”, and I, despite inner warnings and other “red flags” married someone I should not have in 1992. We divorced a little over a year later, with no children.

I am a Roman Catholic, but remarried in 1997 to a wonderful man and we have one child together.

I am in the process of annulling my first union and the previous pastor of my church had incorrectly advised me that I could go to all the Sacraments except Holy Communion. 

I had been going to the Sacrament of Reconciliation for a time when something pricked me in my mind to ask about something regarding second marriages. Because I have not been granted an annulment yet, I could not receive absolution in the Sacrament; my previous pastor had been wrong.

I was emotionally distraught over this and drove home crying. I was trying so hard to get back into the Church and I felt abandoned and damned. I was so frustrated.

As I was proceeding to get on the ramp to the interstate to carry me home a black car came up beside me with the words on the back window, in white letters, “JESUS LOVES YOU”.

I continued crying, but now they were tears of joy because I knew He was with me, loves me,  and would help me. And never abandon me!

"I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;I will sing praises to you among the nations." Psalm 57:9
