While walking the mall, I passed a bench on which a man sat. I had seen a picture of a person sitting on a bench but waited to pass the right "one" to speak to.
After passing the man, I asked my friend if he had any leading to speak with this fellow? He was eager to speak to anyone so he turned back to talk with him. I prayed while G. spoke with the man.
Eventually, as I prayed for the fellow, I saw a couple of pictures. I asked K. about them in the form of questions. The pictures did not apply as I interpreted them, but eventually I understood how they fit his circumstances.
Regardless, G. and I were able to encourage this fellow who was disappointed by the church but had recently talked with his wife about reading the bible with her at home. We blessed his earnest desire to do that in the confidence that God would draw them to Himself as they opened the word together.
K. allowed us to pray for him. I think this was significant due to the things K. shared with us. I believe that God intended for us to find him, speak with him about the gospel and then minister love and encouragement to him.
Jesus is the Good Shepherd, who leaves the 99 to find the lost one out in the field. God is so tender towards His people.
