The Lord's lavish love

   Yesterday my husband and I went to Lubbock to meet my niece and the sweet family she's staying with to look for her first car.  We went to lunch first, and our spoken prayer was that God would open hearts and doors to us that shouldn't be open to us, just because we're His, just because He loves us. We went to the first couple of lots where my nephew Matt met us  We  looked at a few and then she fell for a Pontiac. She drove it out and was pleased, we went in and filled out paperwork only to find the lot's interest rate was 17%. Umm, no. We said we would like to talk with our credit union Monday and would get back to them. This car was a Pontiac , and would have been $10,000. This was above what we had originally asked for, our range was $6000-$9000. We moved on to the lot my friends father had so graciously sent us to and told us who to talk to.  We worked with Daniel, he is an amazing man of God. He sent us to the trade in lot. And, there we found several cute little cars.  Daniel went to the main office to ask prices. One we had looked at was a 2008 Nissan Altima. We figured it would be out of our price range but thought that we would ask. When Daniel returned he said it was $6000! What?! So the guys look it over and say it looks really good. The guys and Sara drive it out and are very pleased with how well it drives.  We then went inside and Daniel said let's do the paperwork. Rick said we would like to go through our credit union that we've never paid more than 4%. He asked us to go through them and said he bet he could do around 4%.  In his absence the guys were trying to figure out why it was so inexpensive? What could be wrong with it? The blue book was saying $9000 at the lowest. Well, it took a while but then Daniel returned and said he got us 4% and her payments would be $149. We didn't even need to ask why? He said "Sara, you are getting an amazing deal on that car. It was listed for $8900 and Max Mcgavock says he doesn't even know why he said $6000, but he is honoring it!" Wow! God went ahead of us, and he set up this meeting! He shut the door at the first car lot because he had better at the next. He knew exactly what we could do, and he not only met us there, he made the price the lowest we asked! God is so good and he seeks to do abundantly more for His beloved than we could ever dream! He loves Sara! And He sought to give her the desires of her heart! Now she will have a safe and  dependable car for college. Thanks to the God of mercy and lavish love!
