just in time

God’s helping hands are always upon His children…
Miracles happen frequently as we drive. Nugraha still marvels at the memory of visiting his friend in Jl. Magelang, Jogjakarta. It was the night after enjoying the cell group.
The meeting was so touching and cheering through all over attendants. They’re laughing, and shared the words of God. They’re encouraged with the deepest meaning of the fellowship. At that time Iwan, one of the members couldn’t come to join because of sick. So, the group planned to visit Iwan after the meeting over. There was no sign that something bad was going to happen.

Nugraha and his cell group’s fellows went to Iwan’s house at that night. It was cold but the sky was clear, starry skies. It took about 30 minutes to get to Iwan’s house from the meeting place by motorbike. The street was crowded because it was the time people went home to rest. “Come on in”, Iwan’s wife Dewi, welcome them in. After they’d chit chat, shared the words of God and prayed to him, they went home. It’s about 11pm.

Nugraha went home with his friend Rio on another motorbike. They’re on the same way home. They stopped at the junction when the traffic light was red. There were no other vehicles on the street. Suddenly…bump! Two girls crashed Nugraha with their motorbike hardly. God, help me! He shouted before fell off. The motorbike rolled to a gentle final stop, but he was just sit on the asphalt. What’s going on? Nugraha stood up shaky and tried to get his motorbike up. Rio came to help him and caught the two young girls.
“We’re very sorry…we didn’t mean it. We ran from that boy and girl who just passed us, we’d had fight earlier”. They begged Nugraha for sorry, even gave their ID if something bad continues. Nugraha just got back from the glimpsed unconsciousness about the hit and checked all his condition. “Are you okay?” Rio asked him worried. “Yeah…I’m okay, just a little brush on my knee”. He checked his motorbike, but there was no damage on it. Amazing….the girls hit him at the exhaust-pipe hardly and made a big bad crash-rebound, and he only got minor injury. He realized, a strong pair of hands held him and put him aside from the accident. Was it You God? He asked his self.
He then went home without put the case to the girls, was he not being saved from bad injury? He always thanks God for His protection and believes His love to him.
