I love the song "He never lets go" by Hillsong because I have seen this time and time again in my own life that God has pursued me even when I did not pursue him. When he chooses us, He is committed to completing his work and will in our lives. Hannah's story to me is a beautiful example of this very concept. When Hannah was in junior high she did a student exchange program to the United States. She was eventually placed with a Christian family who invited her to church and they would often share their faith with her. She went to Bible camp with one of the daughters and that is when she found God. After she came back to Germany she did not have any Christian influences in her life and she became very distant from God. She began to make her own path which lead her very far from God. As the years went on, God became a very distant memory. This summer Hannah was traveling in search of meaning, significance and hope. She ended up at a festival our organization was at. We reached out to her and befriended her. We invited her to come stay at the school for a bit because she was really searching and had many unresolved questions. Our students received her with open arms and she began to attend our worship services and lectures. God began to break through the walls that had been built up through the years of pain and heartbreak. Hannah has now given her life to Christ and is so excited to go back and share with her family and friends what God has done in her life. It's amazing to look at the journey she has been on and see how God has never forgotten or given up on her. I am so grateful that He is always in pursuit of our hearts and he will never let go of us!
