Tonight after an amazing prayer meeting at Gospel for Asia, a group of friends and I decided to hit up a great restaurant called Cafe Brazil for some food and fellowship.
Today however, I called my mom and walked around outside while I caught up with her for a bit. I really miss her, so it was cool to chat with her about what’s going on in our lives.
While I was chatting with her a guy stopped by drinking a red bull. I asked his name, and he said it was Tony. I was on the phone so I couldn’t really talk much to him.
Sam then came out and joined me and so I hung up with my mommy and invited Tony in to hang with the group hoping that we can share about Jesus with him, but after a little while he decided to leave.
I really think I should have shared the Gospel with him. God loves him and brought him there to meet us for a reason. Sadly I didn’t share Christ with him, but I will be praying for Tony.
Can you join me in prayer for Tony? That he will learn of the Truth and maybe one day we will see him in Heaven praising God with us. 🙂
Thanks for reading and for praying!
God knows what He is doing when He gives us “Divine appointments.”
Your post reminded me of a situation in my dad’s life where he had an encounter with a non-believer that also did not culminate in his sharing the Gospel. At first, he was upset with himself for not sharing – until God reminded him, “You said what I gave you to say.”
A few years later, God gave Dad the opportunity to hear “the rest of the story.” God used Dad’s few words to have a powerful impact in that person’s life… she knows the Lord now!
I’ve had similar situations before, too. Situations to which I’ve never heard the finale. It comes down to putting everything – including words and actions in those situations – in God’s hands and trusting Him with the outcome.
I will pray for Tony!
