God Moved Me

Today, I got to experience the Lord working with someone else first hand. During this morning's service (during invitation time) Bro Todd was reluctant to dismiss because he felt that someone was being urged to move, but was reluctant to do so. It did seem as if something were in the air... so to speak. So, as he has done in the past. Bro Todd encourages us to ask those around us if they're "all right" with Jesus. J and I were sitting in the back, and you all know what an introvert I am anyway, but I had went up to a man who I had never seen before, and only talked to earlier in the day when we were doing our "greet your neighbor". I went up to him with the assumption that anyone sitting in the front row holding a Bible was "all right" with God. When I saw his bloodshot eyes, I felt compelled to ask if he was all right instead of walking away or just passing him off. Tears started welling up in his eyes and I knew that everything was not "all right". I told him that even though he didn't know me and I didn't know him, that if there were anything I could do to help him establish a relationship with God that now was the time. He motioned that there was another man who had talked to him and that he had already decided to go to the hospitality room (a semi-private room at the back of the sanctuary). The other man was still talking with someone else, and I offered that if he wanted to move now, then now was the time to move. It's the Lord's timetable that matters. Right then, he took off. I was quick to follow and turns out that although he was baptised at a young age, he never understood what it meant to be truly "SAVED" and that he was struggling with some personal issues. After a counselor and I briefly talked with him, we all went to the altar where Bro Todd talked with him some more and we all prayed with him. I could feel the sense of relief that this stranger felt when he received the Lord. I'm thankful that the Lord used me. Most of you know my circle is a small one. And I had been talking with God to express my concern that I cannot do enough for Him because I am so anti-social. But this is just another example that through God all things are possible!
