A teenage girl about 17 named Diane had gone to visit some friends
one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various
experiences of the past year. She ended up staying longer than
planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was
a small town and she lived only a few blocks away..

As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep
her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a
short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down
the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were
waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for
God's protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and
security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking
with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right
past the man and arrived home safely..

The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had
been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been
there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could
have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and
to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She
felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The
police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see
if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the
man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told
he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The
officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything
they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one
question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When
the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She
had two tall men walking on either side of her." Amazingly, whether
you believe or not, you're never alone. Did you know that 98 of
teenagers will not stand up for God, and 93 of the people that read
this won't repost it?.

Repost this if you truly believe in God..

PS: God is always there in your heart and loves you no matter what,
and if you stand up for him he will stand up for you..
