Today was a beautiful day for me.
A few weeks ago, maybe a month ago, I was talking to the Lord about wanting to tell more people about him. I felt like all the people I know well are Christains and I have a burden to win people to Jesus and know His love like I do. I know this doesn’t mean I need to go hang out in bars sooo…. I told the Lord this desire of my heart. I asked Him to bring the ones that He wanted to me. I told Him that I would be open to sharing the gospel with them. I didn’t remember this prayer until today.
Today Dad preached a great sermon on young people following the Lord. After the service mom called me to come with her. There was a young girl at the front of the church who was ready to be saved. She just came to our church to visit. After sharing with her the plan of salvation again in a clear way for her I made sure she understood… Mom asked her if she would like to pray and ask the Lord into her heart. She said she would. Mom looked at me and told me to lead her in a prayer to receive Jesus into her heart. I did. It was a beautiful thing. After I got done praying and she repeated after me she looked up at me with a bright smile I looked back at her… and we both laughed in a happy light hearted way. I hugged her. We now had a connection. She was a child of God. She was my sister.
I am so thankful to the Lord for giving me the desires of my heart. I know that He brought her to our church because He has a beautiful plan for her life and I “just happened” to be in the right spot to be able to lead her to the Lord because of my prayer to be used of Him. I want to pray that prayer more often. I want to be a vessel He can use. I believe He whispered to my heart today... “Holly I want to use you… just be willing to be used of Me.” I am thankful that His promises are forever true… wherever your at, whatever your doing..I believe He will use us if that is the truest desire of our hearts. It’s been a happy day! All glory to His Name today. I love Him so much….

PRAISE THE LORD! I AM REJOICING WITH YOU, HOLLY.
I HAVE BEEN PRAYING THAT PRAYER TOO SINCE WE MOVED HERE TO THE RETIREMENT VILLAGE.
I HAD THE JOY OF LEADING A LITTLE GIRL IN VBS JUST BEFORE WE MOVED.
I KEEP A LIST IN MY BIBLE OF THE NAMES OF THOSE THE LORD ALLOWS ME TO WIN TO HIM AND I PRAY FOR THEIR SPIRITUAL GROWTH.
YOU’RE RIGHT TO TRUST HIM FOR SOULS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO WITNESS.
“JESUS NEVER FAILS.”
ALL MY LOVE
SINGING HIS PRAISE

Wow, Holly, what a privilege to be able to pray with someone to receive Jesus as their Saviour. It must have been so exciting for you both.
Comment by Birgit on August 11th, 2008 @ 3:54 amThat’s a wonderful prayer too, to be available to the Lord to reach out to people who do not know Him yet. “A fisher of men” Matthew 4:19.
Have a lovely week, God bless.
