Recently, a woman I have known for over 20 years became a believer in Christ. By her own words, she was “born again.” I was deeply impacted by her conversion.
My friend and I ware both small business owners and have dealt primarily with each other in that capacity. Through the years that I have been going to her business, I have not kept my relationship with Christ a secret. I shared with her what was going on in my life, what my husband and I were doing in ministry and invited her to church-related events. Although I did pray for her and her family over the years, I am sad to say, I never asked her if she wanted to be born again.
But GOD . . . He sent another to lead her to Christ. The first time I saw her after she got saved, she told me with great excitement. I could see the change. I could sense her hunger. I met with her that very day and began to answer her questions about the Bible . She was very grateful.
But that was so little to give her for what she brought to me. Through her, I heard God speaking to me. “Out of the world, I continue to pluck them. One by one I will claim them from wherever they are. I am not finished the work of saving.”
I felt so amazed. In the brightness of her excitement about God and all the things of God, I was humbled. For surely God had done this thing and had let me see it. I am so grateful. I pray to be in the path of many more new believers. They give off such a pleasant aroma . . . the aroma of God.
Such an amazing gift. I can only pray and look forward to the day some of my family will be picked as well! 🙂
You are so right. I was thinking the same thing.
Such an experience to share their joy! I want to share this with so many members of my family!
Yes.
