Just recently a lady I became acquainted with last year needed a ride to the store. My friend asked if I could take her...I said sure.
I went to her house and she invited me inside. We sat there and chatted a bit before leaving. She had a couple of other guests there as well and it was a pleasant visit. As usual, I shared the Word with someone because they asked a question and I quoted what the Bible says about that.
When we left and was driving to the store she started crying...she said when I was in her house sitting next to her on the sofa that she wanted to hug me soooo bad because she needed to be encouraged.
(I shared my testimony and scripture with her the last time I saw her)....anyway she said I want to hug you right now...just you coming over has already brought joy to my heart. She said none of her other friends ever talk about God, the Bible or anything uplifting.
I just humbly said thank you, but give God the Glory because He orders my footsteps everyday and I never know where they might be going from one day to the next.
After getting the groceries we went back inside and I said will you come with me somewhere private so I can pray with you.
So we did...I prayed with her and encouraged her to seek Him everyday...pray daily, repent often (sometimes I have to repent every 30 minutes...hahaha) and just rest in Him and let Him heal all that is broken in your life.
I went home and thought about this all day.and the next day. I realized that if someone is so happy to see you that they want to hug you for just being there then there is opportunity...fertile ground that the Holy Spirit has been preparing to receive Jesus into their heart.
The Light of Jesus in me, in us, causes darkness to flee. That is what was filling her with so much joy....it wasn't because I came over but because Jesus in me came over and visited her....Hallelujah!
This has encouraged me even more to continue to die to self and let my life be all about Jesus. Someone you engaged with a year or more ago is hoping to run into you again and hear more of His Truth.
Oh Father thank you that the truth sets us free.
This has been happening to me a lot lately...even today a lady asked me to come over and talk about Jesus with her.
It's crazy....when I would go around witnessing to people in the past they just kind of tolerated me and then went on when I was finished....
But to have them call me and invite me over specifically to talk about God tells me there is a ripe harvest out there crying out...come see me...come get me...come and gather me with the rest of the harvest...
Tears of Joy!!! I am full at this moment...wanting nothing, desiring nothing but to go where He leads me.
God Bless
