My Truck Invited Someone to Church
June 10, 2009 | 2 Comments | Featured
God has blessed me with many things. A great family, job, friends, and well…things. I know we aren’t supposed to run after “things”, but sometimes God just blesses us beyond what we could ask or imagine.
Recently God blessed my family with a new vehicle. Not just any vehicle, but one that I’ve wanted my whole life. I was so overwhelmed by His goodness, that I prayed He would allow me to use it for His Kingdom. It didn’t take long. All I had to do was park it out front and wait.
Very soon God brought two different neighbors to my doorstep to get a closer look.
I was able to talk about church and small group to the first neighbor and begin a relationship that is still developing.
The second “out of the blue” encounter had results that were more immediate. Upon coming up the driveway to talk about the vehicle, I soon learned that this neighbor had lost his job four weeks prior. He was searching and needed the peace that only God could provide. After some small talk, I was able to pray right there in my driveway for him and invite he and his entire family to our church.
Well, guess what, he came. After just one visit he knew LifePoint was where he and his family needed to be. Not only that, but he came by my house the Tuesday after to tell me that he had more job interviews lined up in the past two days than he had the previous four weeks!
God is good. I will strive to remember that all I have is His and will be used for His purposes and not my own.
