Being God's Vessel
I met someone in a very
difficult situation.
I kept walking and gave
"no explanation."
I was then asked a very
direct question:
"I thought you said that
you're a Christian!"
I began to feel a conviction within my soul.
"Which direction should I take"
I didn't know.
Either keep walking, or stop
to help this person in need.
"I suppose just this once...
I'll do a generous deed."
I reached out and loved
him in Jesus' name.
And told him that it was for his life
that our savior came.
My heart was broken as I heard
all he had gone through.
I was speechless. I really didn't
know what to do.
I decided to buy him a cup of coffee
and a sandwich as well.
And shared that Jesus loves
him more than words can tell.
He thanked me and said,
"I'm so glad that you care."
I then was able to lead him
into a salvation prayer.
We talked more about God before
we each went our own way.
But I'll never forget what happened
that particular day.
It helped me begin to
realize and truly see...
How God wants so much to use
someone like me...
