The Power of Divine Timing
Manage episode 500265780 series 2834475
Have you ever hit a slump? That feeling when motivation disappears, purpose seems distant, and getting out of bed feels like climbing a mountain? You're not alone.
This powerful conversation between Ron Myers and Tommy Letson—a former high-profile drug dealer once facing life plus 25 years who now works in Christian rehabilitation—emerged spontaneously when Ron made what seemed like a casual check-in call. What unfolds reveals the extraordinary power of divine timing.
When Ron called Tommy that morning, he found his friend mourning the loss of his mentor Bob McLeod. Tommy confesses he was lying in bed feeling worthless until the phone rang. "Thank you for being obedient and making that call this morning, because it's right on time," Tommy tells Ron, recognizing how a simple connection can pull us from our darkest places.
The conversation weaves through profound insights about finding purpose in pain, surrendering to something greater than ourselves, and discovering how our personal messes can become powerful messages for others. Tommy shares his mentor's wisdom that "we don't walk ahead of God, we don't walk behind God, we walk with Him," offering a beautiful framework for navigating life's challenges.
Perhaps most striking is their discussion about how we're often "looking for love in all the wrong places." Tommy observes that many people transfer their need for unconditional love to pets because "people have hurt them so much," while missing the unlimited source of love available through spiritual connection. As Ron puts it, we're "only one divine thought away from an incredible day."
Ready to pull yourself out of a slump? Their prescription is simple yet profound: reach out to someone today with kindness. Call someone you haven't spoken with in a while. Share a word of encouragement. As this conversation beautifully demonstrates, sometimes the lifeline you extend to someone else becomes your own path back to purpose and joy.
