Because You Answered
Written By Sidney Bryant
Overview
Athena Gracen finds herself in a nightmare scenario, trapped in a mangled and overturned vehicle, her heart racing as she tries to make sense of the chaos around her. In her moment of desperation, she reaches for her phone and calls 911, praying for a miracle. On the other end of the line; Cathy Willows, a calm and composed 911 dispatcher reassures Athena that help is on the way. As they wait for rescue to locate Athena, Athena begins to share her fears and regrets with Cathy, opening up about her struggles and doubts. But in the midst of the chaos, something miraculous happened. Athena's words of vulnerability and honesty touches Cathy's heart in a profound way. As the minutes tick by, Cathy finds herself drawn to Athena's strength and resilience in the face of adversity. And then, in a moment of divine intervention, Athena's last words to Cathy speak of faith and hope, of a love greater than any pain or suffering. In that final call, Athena's voice becomes a beacon of light in the darkness, a message of redemption and grace that touches Cathy's soul. As the rescue team finally arrives and pulls Athena from the wreckage, Cathy knows that this encounter was no mere coincidence. It was a divine appointment, a reminder that even in our darkest moments, God's love shines through. In that fleeting moment, Athena Grant becomes the messenger of hope, a vessel for the Love of Christ to shine bright into a broken world. And in that moment, a lost soul finds its way back to the arms of a loving God.
