I turned into a local grocery store that I don't often shop, why, well, I was not completely sure other than I felt hungry for something that was not at home?
I went in, walked down the second isle, passed a woman and felt an overwhelming urge to turn around and tell her that Jesus really does love her.
I thought to myself, that is not a really profound message but the sense to turn around was strong. I obeyed.
I turned around. I went up to her and said "excuse me", I paused feeling a bit silly since the phrase is so over used...then I just decided to say it... now her face looked puzzled. "I just felt such a strong sense that I should turn around and come back and tell you that Jesus loves you"
She started to cry. She does not attend church but believes in God. She asked Him in the morning due to the difficult circumstances she finds herself in; "Do You really love me?"
She told me what was going on, I asked her if I could pray for her, place my hand on her shoulder, she replied yes. We prayed as a few shoppers passed us by.
Tears streamed down her face.
God is so loving, gentle, kind, compassionate, gracious......
God continues to amaze me with His love for His creation.
