I have had multiple instances in just the last week of people telling me stories about how they were not listening to the Lord and He did something to shake them by the scruff of the neck and say "Hey!" It is truly a wonderful thing that God does not leave us alone. He intervenes (sometimes in the most amazing ways) to remind us that we are not alone.
