Look over there. Thats the Guy !

One Saturday morning Jason and I began with a prayer as we do every day. We ask God to show us where to go and who was in need. Off we went across town looking and talking about the ministry and all those things we talk about. You Know... That day we had a few encounters that I will tell about later but for now this is thew story for today..

About midday we were riding past a local gas station in town. This is a very busy store and gas station. As we rode past the station I saw a fellow sitting on the curb next to a motorcycle in the rear of the station. It looked like he was getting ready to eat lunch alone. As we passed by he looked like he was lit up. Like a light was shining on him. Before I could speak Jason said Look over there. That's the guy !
He was pointing at the same guy I was looking at. Guess what we did.........

We went into the store grabbed a couple of hot dogs and "Went to where he was" (Luke 10). We had lunch with **** right there on the curb. We had a long conversation with him. His story was a sad one. He spoke Abbot all of the trouble and drama in his life From the motorcycle accident that left him injured to the failing relationship with his wife to having no friends. He even led us to think that he was considering ending his life.

Jason and I began to tell him how we found him (God directed us)that day and why we were with him right then. We spoke about Gods love, grace and mercy and how God knows where you are and what you are facing. We told him that God would send the answers, heal the heart and bring Peace to his life.

We could tell from our conversation that his spirit was lifted from our visit with him that day. We don't know but, that visit could have prevented him from taking his life that day. We see him from time to time around town.

I wonder how many people you pass by in a day and when you pass by you feel the leading to speak or start a conversation and let the chance slip by. Tust that leading and reach out. You never know when your kind words are all it might take to rescue someone in need..
