How much does God really care about you? Have you ever felt hopeless; that your circumstances were too bleak to ever improve? No matter how reasonable your fears, there is no bottomless pit. There is a bottom and there is hope. Always. How does the author know? She's visited the pit.
What do the story of an unwanted horse and the promise of a mansion in heaven have in common? Both prove that hope rests on a firm foundation, even when you can’t see it. We’ve all failed someone in our lives just as others have failed us, but forgiveness and redemption are real.
God sent the author and her husband to find two horses, by name, nine years after they were sold as youngsters. With the downturn in the economy the last thing the author needed was more horses and she had no idea where to find these particular two. But when God gives direct instruction the best course of action is to get busy. They did.
Shiner was never lost to God and neither are you.
Unless rescued soon, the brothers's time was running out. Shiner and Ace felt the same way Black Beauty did, waiting for the end to come. Sometimes death seems preferable to life when each day is too painful and you’ve run out of options. In ways only the supernatural hand of God can arrange, Shiner and Ace were found, but without hope or spirit. Black Beauty was rescued and found his way home, never to be sold again. Shiner and Ace were equally blessed.
Black Beauty is a fictional horse, while Shiner and Ace are brothers; real horses born a week apart and never separated. Would you like to hear Shiner’s side of the story? Let him tell you how it feels when deliverance comes because God knows your name. If you’ve ever doubted God’s promises, Shiner testifies that His promises are true.
