The Fingerprint of God

As I listened to the radio one morning I heard the testimony of Lysa Terkurst. She had gone through a period of rebellion in her life and is currently the President of Proverbs 31 Ministries. A woman who turned away from God and did her own thing is now being used by the Lord in a wonderful way. God had continued to work in her heart through every circumstance and poor choice. After sharing her rebellious days as an atheist she stopped and said, “even a person who doesn’t believe has the fingerprints of God all over them.” For me, the picture that came to mind was each prayer that is prayed puts another fingerprint on our loved one. I was so encouraged, knowing how many people are praying for my children and knowing that God’s work is often unseen. Just as a fingerprint doesn’t always show, it nevertheless is there. I believe that God’s hands are at work in the lives of those I desperately want to see come back to fellowship with Jesus. Today, trust that your loved one is in God’s hands. Know He is at work! Keep praying!
