HOW love settled a legal dispute

I knew that God would supply an equitable solution for everyone.

By Lawrie Ward Honens

I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I was hearing on the telephone. The lawyer for my automobile insurance company was telling me that I would be sued for my role in a minor automobile accident that had occurred over a year earlier. I was perplexed because everything about the accident had already been resolved smoothly, or so I thought.

My insurance company had declared me at no fault and had even compensated me for the deductible amount on my policy. The minor damage had been repaired quickly. It was almost as if the accident never had happened. Now the other driver was accusing me of wrongdoing.

I was angry, self-righteous, fearful, and hurt. Why? kept coming to me, and I worried about what would happen next.
