While my brother and I were driving home from a trip to the mechanic, we came to a four way stop. The Ford ranger in front of us had stopped and not been able to get started again. My brother pulled the car over and we got out to investigate the problem. Turns out she had run out of gas so we pushed the truck out of the road. As we proceeded to head home, I had a thought that we could do more to help. She approached us saying she had forgotten her wallet and had no way of getting any gas. I immediately offered help. My brother and I went home to get a gas can, and then to the gas station and finally back to the woman hoping she was still there. On the gas receipt I simply wrote: God Bless! John 13:35 and handed it to her.
I don't know what will happen in her life but I know that as John 13:35 says we showed Christ's love to her. I pray God will work in her life and that she might remember the two kids who helped as being followers of Jesus Christ. Don't let an opportunity pass you by. There is a hurting world out there. We are called to make disciples of men. "We love because He first loved us." 1 John 4:19
Share God's love this season!
