He seemed to come from out of nowhere. Standing in the bank teller’s line on Saturday morning, I was questioning and doubting my work and my life. There seems to be so much need to speak and teach such good news – yet a limited opportunity. I always want more. Then, he spoke. From behind me – a voice said “Hello”. He looked like a regular guy. Perhaps he was a farmer with his bibbed overalls and baseball cap. “Hello”, he exclaimed with a shy grin. “How’s things with you?” “Well, OK….just working.” Then he said, “You know, it’s amazing – our work. How you never know in your life what you meant to someone. How you may never know the impact… how profound it can be for that one person.” My heart flipped. This was no coincidence. I turned and looked at him and remembered how God works through ordinary people like you and me.
I’m ok. I’m doing exactly what God wants me to do. Sometimes He has to remind me when I get impatient. Now, it’s my turn to remind you.
“Do not forgot to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels unaware.” Hebrews 13:2
