The Devil's Headlights

Cody was ecstatic. Today was the day he was leaving for university to study geology and paleontology.
He couldn't wait to be told that the Earth was billions of years old and that dinosaurs and humans never roamed the planet at the same time.
His parents were also very excited because they were both hippies who hated JESUS. They were so evil, they were throwing him a goodbye party.
All of Cody's friends were there, including the only Christian he had ever known, Luke.
Luke was sad to see his friend go, but he also figured it was just as well that he never see him again if Cody wasn't going to convert to Christianity.
During the party Luke kept trying to pull Cody into a quiet corner to lay hands on him and pray for his salvation, but Cody kept rejecting him.
Finally it was time for Cody to leave. His friends helped him put his bags into his little red sports car and Luke gave him a Bible tract as a going away gift.
It was a Chick tract about a stupid atheist who becomes a Christian and is no longer stupid.
Cody rolled his eyes and put it in his coat pocket.
He left later than he intended. It was a six hour drive and it was already getting dark. He would just have to make up the time on the highway.
Now, Cody had a problem other than just being a damned evolutionist atheist. He was covetous of other people's belongings, namely their cars.
Every car that went by on the highway, Cody would imagine himself behind the wheel cruising around topless in the summer heat like a bisexual man-whore.
There was little traffic on the roads that night, but every time a car did go by, Cody's eyes would pierce the darkness to make out what kind of car it was.
Cody was blaring the latest satanic music on his radio when, on the horizon, a brilliant pair of white, shining headlights appeared. They were the blinding halogen kind. Truly this must be a very fancy car indeed.
Cody became so fixated on the lights that he didn't realize he was about to veer off the road and go careening into the ditch. Just as the blinding lights were upon him, Cody's tires ran off the road and he went flying.
Around and around his car rolled, breaking, smashing, crushing and burning. Finally the car came to a stop and Cody's battered, broken, bleeding body was somehow hurtled through what was left of the windshield.
Hours passed. Cody lay staring up at the night sky, slipping in and out of consciousness. He tried to move but his legs wouldn't budge. Only his arms were free to move, and he knew he would die here. His hand brushed across something in the grass. He managed to pick it up, and lo and behold, it was the Chick tract his Christian friend Luke had given him.
Cody read it eighteen times in the moonlight. He thought about his life, all the sins he had committed by believing in evolution instead of the Genesis account of creation. He remembered all the bad words he had said, all the pornography he had watched, all the times he had lied and cheated and stole.
Cody burst into tears, and right then and there, he begged GOD to forgive him.
Not five minutes later an ambulance came and rescued him. Cody would be paralyzed for the rest of his life, and had permanent scars all over his body, and was emotionally traumatized from the wreck, but he nevertheless would be a soldier in the LORD's army.
He quit secular university to get a degree to study Young Earth Geology and he obtained a degree in Theology and went on to save many souls with the uplifting story of how GOD spared his young life that night.
Of course he would always live with the punishment of being a cripple to pay for his former life, but he knew GOD had forgiven him, and allowed him to carry on his life as a paralyzed, disfigured and emotionally wrecked soldier for CHRIST.
Children, let us not be distracted by the Devil's headlights. There are many shiny lures and traps in this world, but the only thing that really matters is JESUS CHRIST.
We should thank Him everyday for loving us, even though we are all imperfect and deformed, until He washes us clean in His hot, sweet blood.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: -1 Peter 5:8
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. - 1 John 2:17
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. - James 4:4
