Near the end of school, I had an unexpected thing happen. On school fun day, during the ‘fill-the-bucket-challenge’, I noticed one of my friends looked sad. As I watched him, I had a sudden thought – maybe telling him about Jesus would make him feel happy. So I asked him if he went to church. He said yes. So I asked him if he knew about Jesus and how Jesus died so we could go to heaven. He said that his pastor had never explained that to him. I told him all about what Jesus did and what I knew about heaven; it is not an everlasting vacation, it isn’t a mall where you have an unlimited gift card, it is not an amusement park, it is not a nature preserve, but it is your HOME! My friend said, “Man, if God has all of this planned for me, then I want to get saved. But, how do I?” And that day, we ended up with a new brother in our family!
Jon, that is awesome! I love to hear how God is using you in all the places he’s put you!
