Though I’ve realized this before, I keep re-realizing
things! Haah! Work is truly a mission field and I need prayer!!! Not just for
myself, but for everyone I interact with! That God will touch their hearts and
work in them! So if you don’t mind reading the following, I’d appreciate it if
you prayed for me and everything! ahah
So, work today was super interesting!! Cept tiring, cos I
worked 9 hours…butttt, for the first bit, I was wearing my ACF sweater cos it
was cold. In the front, there’s a
cross and it says “rooted in Christ” and on the back, a bible verse from Col.
2:6-7 I think…haha! Anyway, I remember a while back, (2 weeks ago), I shared
the gospel and talked to my co-worker about God! And it was so cool…just seeing
God work and being super faithful to me, though I was sort of scared! At the time, I told ppl about it and
they prayed for him! And some of them were sort of joking around and said, you
should share the gospel with truck drivers! And I’m like…”uhh, probably not the
best time to talk to them about the gospel…but if God opens the door, I’ll go
through it” So then, I guess,
later that day, I prayed to God that He would continue opening doors for me to
be a light and share to others about Him!
So as the weeks passed, I guess I forgot about that prayer until God
opened the door for me today!! Haha!
So, while I was wearing that sweater, one of the truck
drivers starting talking about church/going to church/his friends and
stuff…saying things like “you should never be forced to do something you don’t
want to do” and it was interesting!!! Haha! At that point I realized… “nice, he
know’s I’m a Christian! Lol let’s talk!!” I thought about just continuing with
the survey and being “professional” but then I thought about it again and I’m
like… who cares!?!? In the whole scheme of things, this man’s salvation is a
million times more important than…”being professional”! so I started talking to
him! Sort of snuck in the gospel!.. the need for God, how God sent his son for
us, and how we just need to believe to be saved. He knew all these things, but I think his heart has been
hardened by the fact that he’s seen many of his “Christian” friends who just
aren’t good examples and “devoted” their life to God too much. When he described it, to me, it just
seemed like they were not being good stewarts of their money. They were not “working as if working
for the Lord”…they were using God as an excuse to be lazy about their lives and
be a bad witness to this man! I’m
glad he said he’s still open to go to church and stuff, but it hurts my heart
seeing this man for some reason! And I really wanna ask you all to just pray
for him! His name is Don. Pray
that God would soften his heart to His Spirit! I recommended him to go to a Harvest church because I know
they are good for the most part!
So really pray that he will take that step and that God will use people in
his life to bring him closer! I
really pray that God will pursue him!
I think the scariest thing about sharing the gospel with
strangers is that you always wish you said more! Since we didn’t share contact information, we are literally
planting the seed, and praying and knowing that God will be faithful and water
it if it needs! I don’t know if I’ll
ever see Don again, but I pray, that if I do, it will be us rejoicing together
and praising God together in heaven! :)
