Only half my work day is done. Perhaps something can top what I already experienced, but I rather doubt it. (Okay, the Rapture would definitely be better!)
This morning, I had the privilege to present the gospel to a religious person. (Just for the record, there are thousands of religious lost people!) When I asked about getting to heaven, he didn't have the right answer. When I pressed about the day of his salvation, he had no answer. When he said he was a good person, I had my opening.
He didn't seal the deal right there in the coffee shop, but he now has quite a bit to process. The last thing I wanted was for him to give his heart to Jesus because I think it's a good idea. I knew the decision had to be his alone. I walked him through what to do next, should he want to take advantage of God's offer.
Wait. It gets better. One of the guys at a nearby table was quite interested too. He'd never tell you that, but it wasn't accidental that he kept looking at me. He was listening!
None of this was planned. No, that's not true. God had it planned for a long time. I finally caught up with His plan. Today God will position you to make a difference. That person you'll meet -- it's not a coincidence. That conversation that starts in politics -- don't be surprised when you're suddenly discussing religion. God wants people to be saved more than we do.
