BE REAL!
Matthew 5:14-16
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Sunday morning as I went out to leave for church I discovered I had a flat tire. What an ironic circumstance since I have been teaching on the need to find joy in each and every trial that we encounter. (It was time for me to practice what I preach!)
Fortunately I had a tire pump in the trunk of the car that works on power from the cigarette lighter. I was able to get the tire inflated and make it to church and back. The next morning it was low again and I knew I had to get it repaired.
While the car was in the shop I sat at a lunch table reading a good Christian book, but no food in front of me. A young man asked if he could sit at my table. This was very strange since there were many empty tables around us.
I won’t go into all of the details of our conversation, but it turned out that this young man attended the same high school as our granddaughter. It was about fifty miles away, so it was quite unexpected.
It was one of those God directed opportunities that allowed me to speak from my heart as the Lord gave me direction. No decision was made, but hopefully a seed has been planted that one day may bear fruit. Above all I just wanted to be real!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
