One night I had to stay late at the Nursing Home where I worked to
finish up the doctor's orders. It had been an unusually warm Spring day
when I came to work, but when I left to go home I could see that the
temperature had dropped. It was quite cold out. In fact it was so cold I
think there may have been ice on my windshield.
On my way down
the highway I passed a young man walking away from his car. He was just
starting to walk down the road. His car appeared to have broken down.
I was leery about stopping to help him because you never know what
someone may be up to. I could see he didn't have a coat on. Later, he
told me that he wasn't wearing a coat because when he left home to go
see his girlfriend it was nice out and he didn't think he would need it.
I decided to let him use my cell phone to call home which was about
ten miles away near the town where I lived. When he tried to call his
parents he got the answering machine. He said that his parents must be
asleep.
I decided to go ahead and give him a ride. As we drove
along I was praying and praying that God would give me the words to say
that would tell him how much He loved him. I couldn't think of anything
to say. When we got to his house he told me that he had been praying
that someone would give him a ride home.
God didn't give me the
words to tell him that He Loved him. He gave me the actions to tell him
of His great Love for him.
God showed me that sometimes it isn't
always what we say that counts, but what we do that God can use to bless
others. He is Awesome!
YOU ARE A WITNESS UNTO ALL MEN
Are
you a witness unto all men?
It is expedient that Jesus may come
again.
The life that you live is the greatest witness that there is.
It proves to all the world that you are truly His.
True happiness
comes from knowing the One who died for you,
Peace of mind will be
your reward your whole life through.
And when up in heaven you greet
those you knew on earth,
They'll credit your witness for their "New
Miraculous Birth."
