More Revolutionary Love...Keep spreading the love
Last Thursday, I was getting off the exit in Lenoir City, on my way to Wal-Mart, when I noticed a man on the side of the road with a sign saying “Anything will help.” My first reaction was the usual: lock my doors & keep my eyes on the red light. I had already been praying that God would show me what He wanted me to do with the Revolutionary Love cards (which, “conveniently”, were right next to me) & I just knew that God wanted me to feed this man dinner. But of course, I was in a rush to get to Wal-Mart & get home. If I’m being honest, I immediately started wrestling with myself. I knew in my heart that I was supposed to feed this man dinner, but I thought, “I’m a woman. I’m alone. People are crazy these days. You can’t trust anybody.” So I went on to Wal-Mart, got my items & left. As I was getting back on the interstate, I noticed he was still there. I knew I had the choice to either be obedient or disobedient. After all, THIS is what I had been praying for!!! And I was going to be disobedient in the moment of opportunity??! I made a quick decision & moved over into the opposite lane. I ran to Krystal’s & bought him a sackful! I put the Revolutionary Love card right on top of the burgers, so it couldn’t be missed. I beeped my horn, he came over & I could totally see the surprise on his face. I told him that God loved him & that I hoped he found what he was looking for (which, I have no idea why I said that! Lol! Afterwards, I thought of about 50 things I could have said!). He thanked me, said “God bless you”, and went back to his post. I cried the whole way home. I was just completely humbled by the whole experience. It is just a really good feeling knowing that God has used me to meet someone else’s need. If you do it once, you want to do it again! So I bought my friend (who is a single mom, with another on the way) lunch today!! Knowing you’ve been the “hands & feet” of God is an awesome, humbling feeling!
