Bus ride

by Bruce Wadd

It was a game, and I was the victim! There I was, a very young and immature teen, sitting at the back of my school bus, being peppered with heaps of questions by this marauding pack of hungry older teens.

All they wanted was a laugh, but painfully, at my expense! When it was discovered that I had little knowledge of sexuality, the feeding frenzy intensified.

The situation was incredibly embarrassing and horribly painful. This led me to create a vow - 'I will never put myself in such vulnerable position again!'

Now, many years later, I am amazed at the impact of this experience on my life. But with new insight, and hopefully some maturity, I can talk with compassion about the experience.

Have you been in the devil’s firing line lately, under relentless attack from both known and unknown sources? You may be experiencing deep distress, great pain, feeling lost and alone.

Great! You now have the privilege and opportunity to take it all to God, and discover how incredibly reliable and compassionate He really is.

“Even when the way goes through Death Valley,

I’m not afraid because You walk at my side.”

Psalms 23:4 TM

TODAY, let God travel with you… everywhere!
