This just happened today with one of our School of Intimacy members. They arrived at AKL airport, ready for a long international flight, but realised they forgot their passport back in WLG. They panicked, worried, tried to call their family in WLG 5 times.

No answer. They remembered what we do in the school regarding rest, letting go, trusting God, and so took time to do that. Literally 5 seconds later, their family in WLG called and were able to drop the passport to an air hostess friend at WLG airport who could fly it up to AKL. However, the flight would arrive in AKL only 5min before the international flight departs.

That’s not enough time. So they asked God for wisdom, guidance, and made a deliberate choice to trust in His goodness.

The international flight gets delayed, they get their passport, and they’re good to go.

Praise God. But wait, there’s more… They got upgraded to business class. How? No idea. I’ll ask for more details when they land. They’re currently a few thousand feet in air, probably enjoying the extra leg room and recliner, lol.

Lesson God doesn’t just redeem our slip-ups. He can also upgrade them. This story reminded me of what Isaiah 61:7 says, “Instead of shame you will receive a double portion…” Or Ephesians 3:20, “He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine..." This isn’t a one-off story. This is happening often in the school and in so many different ways. And it's such a joy to watch. He is infinitely better than we often let Him be. Do you believe God wants to be this good to you, even despite your slip-ups?

Or do you believe you deserve to miss flights because of your slip-ups?

“Let it be unto you according to your faith” (Matt 9:29)

He invites all of us into His immeasurable goodness. And there is always more goodness to experience with Him.

He really is a good Father.

Bless you,
