Target, horaay!

During a quick trip to Target, I pressed in to finding a mustard dispenser. I passed a young clerk and the Lord gave me a quick word of knowledge about her singing voice. I didn't feel as though I had much to go on, and I was running late. I headed for the checkout. The Lord pressed on me to go back.

Sorry Lord. Tell me more?

I felt that she wanted a good singing voice.

When I found her again, she was helping a customer which took a while.

Eventually I was able to ask her about her voice.

I approached her and said, " Can I ask you an off the wall question", she said yes, OK.

I said, " Do you have a beautiful singing voice?" She replied no, but I sing anyway.

I said "Great keep singing" I'd seen Ice skates around her too. Asked if she skated. She said no.

Hmm. Didn't press the word. Understood later.

I told her that I am a Christian that has learned to hear the Lord speak through His Holy Spirit. I told her that God spoke to me about her so I would stop and talk with her.

Her eyes filled with tears. She said her day had just been awful. I reached my hand over to her shoulder and quickly blessed her, and said a short prayer. I asked her how she felt.

She had closed her eyes when I prayed and leaned forward somewhat. She said she felt peace.

She thanked me for stopping to talk with her, it made her day. I talked to her about going to church. She'd stopped a few years ago. I encouraged her towards the Lord.

God's love released in Target!
