“And God doesn’t break his word.”

“What about you and Darrel?” “We’re good friends.” “Martin seems to think there is something more going on.” “He’s wrong. I don’t love him, Aunt Esther.” “But maybe he’s falling for you.” “I hope not. I don’t want to hurt him. I’ve made it clear we can see each other as long as it doesn’t go further than friendship.” “And he’s okay with that?” “He has no choice. It’s that, or nothing.” Esther laughed at her comment. “You are a strong-willed young lady. Most women your age would be drooling over that young man. He’s got it all–looks, charm, money.” “Jah, but that’s not what’s important. What about his heart? How does he stand with God? How much does he care about others? Would he always be faithful? Those things are what I look for in a man.”

“Darrel, let me ask you a question and I want the whole truth. What do you think about God?” He let out a hesitant laugh. “I’m afraid I don’t give him much thought.” “But you believe in Him?” “I guess so, most of the time. Look, Ruth, I want to be totally honest with you. I don’t see many signs of there being a God. Not one who is caring, anyway. I lead a good life so if there’s a place called heaven, I’m sure I’ll make it.” “You don’t know you are a sinner?” “Have I cheated a little on my income tax? Or maybe told a lie or two? Of course, who hasn’t? But I’ve never murdered anyone or stolen anything. No, I don’t think I’m a sinner.” “A lie is a sin, or cheating the government. You have to realize, Darrel, every one is born with a sinful nature. It’s only through Christ we are made right with God. Through the blood shed on the cross, He took everyone’s sin on himself. Now we can be pure in front of God, because we’re forgiven.”
