Tuesday night I was blessed to attend our church's prayer meeting. We can't always make with school schedules and Ben's work schedules so it really is a blessing when I can go. At the end of the meeting the leader said something like "If you knew that Jesus was coming back tomorrow and you had only one prayer request, what would it be?"
Well, of course I thought it would be for someone's salvation.... at a time like that, Salvation is really the only issue. So then I wondered who and a name popped into my head. And at the time I thought it was just a little weird because I hadn't thought of him in awhile but there it was. So I mentioned his name and asked for prayer for Salvation.
Thursday I was on facebook, getting ready to upload some fabulous photos of Abby's birthday when who starts chatting with me but this person I prayed for on Tuesday. But at the time I didn't think of that. I was just surprised because he hadn't talked to me in months! But we're having a nice little chat about his new job and new car and blah blah blah when all of sudden it hits me:
Wait a minute! We all prayed for you on Tuesday night and here you are chatting with me! I don't think that's a coincidence!
So then I start thinking.... what should I say? What would God want me to say if this is my one shot? And the thought that came to me is that GOD LOVES YOU! So at the end of our conversation, I told him that Jesus loved him and that I did too.
I felt a little silly typing it. And I he may not ever talk to me again because I said it. But I hope and pray that God is starting to chip away at the huge wall between the two of them and that one day he really WILL understand that Jesus LOVES him and what that really means.
