That morning, I did not get out of bed for the weekly discipleship meeting between homegroup trainers partly because of a small headache, but more so out of my laziness. So, the day didn't start out with the best foot, but somehow I was able to encourage my co-workers during work while we were absolutely slammed because of a swim meet (I work in the food court of a mall). However, the day at work flew by because we were busy the entire time.
After work, I was pretty beat, so I was a little happy that the conference call I was supposed to have didn't happen. Again, not the best motivation and mindset here. Luckily for me, I got to spend some time with a great bro doing some discipleship time and outreaching. Praying for people went amazingly well! We met a guy that goes to our church that we didn't know (shame on us, right?), a guy who is laboring hard for Jesus with another group, and another guy who was looking for a church home. All these times were encouraging, but we hadn't had the chance to share the gospel yet. So we prayed that we would be able to... and that's when we ran into another guy who seemed pretty apathetic and non-responsive. I honestly was thinking that we should move on and find another person, but my bro persevered with him and kept on asking him questions. Finally, he wanted to see the gospel, so we shared it with him. This apathetic guy's demeanor changed a bit during the presentation and afterward he gave my bro his contact info and they are grabbing dinner together to talk about Jesus some more.
After this, we ate and I got to see some more friends on campus and have funsies. When I got home I got to share these stories with my roommates, and then I felt like my job was done. I could check my "Spiritual Box" off for the day. That's when I went to play video games online. Once again, however, God used me for His good. On the side chat bar, I was able to talk about Jesus' love with someone who was talking about suicide. Then used me to encourage a struggling young lady about her faith. All this while playing VIDEO GAMES!!! Amazing! Praise the Lord!
A great thing that was told to us today by the really encouraging laborer was this: "We're here for one purpose: To glorify God. If we accept His salvation, we glorify Him in His mercy. If we refuse His salvation, we glorify Him in His justice."
I Love It!
