Was getting gas for the car and noticed this woman sitting on the grass under a tree, making notes on a pad.
The Lord spoke to my heart, stop.and take time. Go over, park and show my love and care for her. I pulled over and parked, and slowly strolled up to her. She was perhaps in her 40s, with rough weathered skin. She had a bike, a cart, and several plastic bags tied to her bike. She was writing on her pad.
I said Hi, she looked up, and I said, “I don’t know if you can use this, but here is an emergency kit just for you.”
She smiled, and said “Yes, I can sure use an emergency kit now. Wow.. that looks like it has a lot of things I can use. Thank you”.
You will have these opportunities too. They will usually come when you are busy, and don’t want to stop and take the time to bless someone in need. But these are not interruptions to your spiritual walk. These opportunities are “what God has laid out in advance, that you should walk in them”. (Eph 2:10).
So stop, pray to the Lord for guidance, and take a few minutes to show a person in need how much God loves them. Ask them how they are. Bless them with a blessing bag. And ask if you can pray for them. You are after all blessed to be a blessing.
