God’s Covenant

by Heather Lowe

On November 7, 2018, the Lord revealed Himself to me in a very special way. I was working in Woodstock as a pension analyst and I was making the long drive home. It was pouring down rain and my heart was so heavy because I realized that I had been on a journey of seeking the Truth and pursuing my calling to be a life purpose coach for 7 years and I had lost everything in the process including my marriage. I was caught between New Age beliefs and Christianity and I wondered how much more I would have to lose to find the truth, but I had nothing left. When I realized all this, I called out to God and I asked Him if His son, Jesus Christ, had been my guide for the past 7 years and I also told Him to show me the Truth if He wanted me to do what He called me to do in the name of Jesus to honor and glorify His name. Right after that prayer, I realized something so simple - that I could just decide that Jesus had been my guide all those years and give Him the honor and glory for leading me...and that’s what I decided to do.

In that moment, I recommitted my life to Christ. Right when I made that decision, I made a turn at a stop light and I could see that behind me was a fully-formed, vibrant double-rainbow. I took some pictures of it and the next day, I noticed something incredible. When I looked closer at the last picture I took, I noticed that the rainbow was pointing to a cross in the word COVENANT on a church sign. I was speechless. The Lord confirmed the Truth of the gospel to me that day. He had been leading me to Himself the entire time. I rejected Jesus numerous times on my journey, but He never stopped pursuing me. Shortly after that my son and I were Baptized. At the start of the next year, I committed to read the entire Bible in 90 days and as I did, the Lord also restored my marriage. I had no idea who God really was until I read the Bible. I could finally understand and appreciate the sacrifice that both God and Jesus made to free us free from our sin, so that we could have a relationship with them and spend eternity in Heaven - and all we have to do is receive the free gift of salvation by believing and accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

meet my deepest inner needs. When Covid-19 hit, the Lord placed me with a team of Online spiritual coaches through the Groundwire ministry. I’m honored to be serving the Lord by leading others to Christ and offering life and spiritual guidance and prayer for others in crisis and I’m so grateful that he would use someone like me to do it. I had to lose everything to find Jesus again, but what I realized is that He is more than enough, He is everything that we need. We are all designed with a God-sized hole inside of us. Without Christ, we will try to fill ourselves up using anything from this broken world. The missing piece is and always will be Jesus - apart from Christ, I am nothing and can do nothing.
