I experienced Christ in my life at theage of 14 and I am 14. I was on my knees crying because of the sins I have committed and I was afraid of what the Lord might do to me. But I cried for repentance and I felt better after that. I am struggling with fighting against the devil instead of letting God take care of my events, but I learned that God will always be there for you and to seek God first and have faith in waiting for the Lord. Everything we do is by doing it through and to honor God. I have talked to some people about Christ and what he does for our life. I am glad to say that I am child of God. I don’t care what nobody says about my faith and what I believe in because I know that he is real. Do everythng with one accord.

Just wanted to share this with all my sis. and bros. in christ. that helping is also helping in church. Your pastor and his wife. don’t expect for them to ask you. If you do decide to help don’t expect reconition or money,pad on the back or so…your reward is up in heaven. Do it with a cheerful heart. Remember everything we do is for christ.

I was in the 99cent store after work on yesterday. You could tell that everyone was pretty much in their hustle and bustle mode picking up items and trying to dash home. In the grocery section there was a basket blocking the middle of the aisle. I spotted a woman look down to the floor to ask this elderly woman who was clearly distraught,
“Is this your basket?” the woman replied yes and the lady pushed it to the side and kept shopping. I couldn’t (yet sad to say), I could believe what I saw. I then asked the lady on the floor was she okay and she replied, “I’m not feeling to well” I went to seek help for her i saw that she was taken care of and on my way home, i said a silent prayer not just for her but also for the passer byer’s.
I fight back back tears just to think, what if the Lord had passed us by???

Today I answered a call from a friend of a former renter’s kid asking for a ride from her town to mine and back to do some banking. I chose to take the opportunity for a little gospel fellowship along the way. But I also saw people in more need. Since I can only help everyone at once by prayer, I prayed for the car stopped along the side of the road and on the third pass a policeman was helping them and on my 4th pass for that trip the car was gone. So God is able to take care of everyone as we all cooperate with Him.

God also brought a miracle to help me when she was asking for another ride in two days. I said only God knows what I’ll be doing. Then He brought a phone call to her from someone she wanted to talk to more than me. So we can help others as Jesus leads yet not be overburdened as He leads. His yoke is light.

There are ways to help many more people but that might involve getting our eyes misaimed from Jesus to the work of helping. It is most joyful to follow Jesus’ lead.

That’s a fascinating story!

It reminds me of all those times I pass cars with flat tires on the highway. I value my own time and schedule more than other people’s needs most of the time.
