Being a Vessel of God

Being A Vessel of God... I met someone in a very difficult situation. I kept walking and gave "no explanation." I was then asked a very direct question: "I thought you said that you're a Christian!" I began to feel a conviction within my soul. "Which direction should I take" I didn't know. Either keep walking, or stop to help this person in need. "I suppose just this once... I'll do a generous deed." I reached out and loved him in Jesus' name. And told him that it was for his life that our savior came. My heart was broken as I heard all he had gone through. I was speechless. I really didn't know what to do. I decided to buy him a cup of coffee and a sandwich as well. And shared that Jesus loves him more than words can tell. He thanked me and said, "I'm so glad that you care." I then was able to lead him into a salvation prayer. We talked more about God before we each went our own way. But I'll never forget what happened that particular day. It helped me begin to realize and truly see... How God wants so much to use someone like me... By JIm Pemberton
