A few days ago, I was going about my errands and noticed someone walking on the side of the road. I live in the southeast and the heat here is sometimes unbearable. Naturally, I felt a little sad for this person. Driving down the road, I swear I heard the voice of God telling me to turn around and go pick her up and take her to the place she lived.
I had my children in the car with me and I don't make it a habit to pick up strangers- EVER. So, I rationalized that I must have just been "hearing things" in my head and that God wouldn't really ask me to pick someone up. Maybe it was fear or maybe it was inconvenience. I don't know the real reason, but I kept on driving.
That little lady, who by the way was probably in her 70s and shouldn't have been out in the head, has been on my mind every day since. I guess the lesson in this is that when you think you hear the voice of God, you should listen. So many opportunities pass right through my fingers. My goal this week is to grab hold of at least one. There are so many people who need God's love in their lives and just maybe He might want to use me to show them who He really is.
