Mathew
5:8
Blessed
are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
This
has been another awesome week with Jesus! We met a couple a week ago.
They are new to Florida, and don't have a lot of people they are
connected with. The woman had called me to help her with insurance.
She was very concerned about her situation and we assured her that we
would help.
At
first glance, it looked like a very tough situation. I felt it was
going to be quite a challenge and we had some obstacles to overcome.
During our first meeting, Denny & I took it slow. We tried to
calm her. Her husband waited in the car as we talked with her.
When we
were done discussing business, I asked her if I could pray for her.
She said "Yes, I'm a Christian and I would like that." We
took her hands and prayed, and Jesus was so powerfully among us that
at the end, she said, "Wow! That was powerful!" as she
began to cry and so did I.
I
invited them to Church and they came. We were so excited. Then we had
another meeting this week and were able to help further with her
insurance. This time her husband joined us, feeling more comfortable
since having spent time with us on Sunday.
He
shared his heart with us, and even showed us a picture of his church
that he had drawn from up north. It was hand drawn and looked
completely professional. I was in awe. We never know what treasure
lies beneath a person's surface. By the end of the meeting, I was
once again praying for them. His heart had opened quite a bit to us,
and our hearts were deeply touch.
Later I
asked the Lord about a verse for my evening prayer session, and He
gave me this one from Matthew 5:8. We learn from every situation we
encounter with God's precious people. Today I want to encourage you
to remember that we can never tell what a person's hidden treasures
are until we take the time to slow down and do the necessary digging
until that treasure is uncovered.
The
next time God brings a stranger across your path, will you remember
to take the time to get out your spiritual shovel and do some hunting
and digging? You both will be blessed if you do. God bless you. Go
hunting!
This
blog is reaching people all over the world! God is sending His Word
out to the nations! Be blessed and filled dear friend, and pass this
message along to others.
We love
you so much!
Love
and blessings!
