No coincidences
From EddieZ: So today was Sarah’s birthday and pizza was the dinner of choice. Cicis Pizza to be exact. When we arrived we parked and saw a young couple sitting on the curb. They apparently had some time on their hands so Sarah went up and gave them a million. They were nice and did not stone her, instead they said thanks and we headed inside.
@ the counter they had a fund raiser for a massillon elementary school and there was more than the usual amount of people there. We gave some young girls millions and I took a look @ some merchandise and struck up a conversation with Russell. He had some “religious” looking ink work on his fore arms so as the spirit kicked open the door, my mouth opened and delivered with boldness.
I asked him what the ink was and what it meant to him. The cross like colorful one he had drawn himself. The other was a pair of hands praying with the words ” the day God truly blessed the earth” and a date. Turned out to be his daughters birthday. I asked if he really knew how God really blessed the earth and he wasn’t sure. I handed him a million, he smiled and said, “Hey I got one of these @ the stark county fair from some guy…..” :) (turns out this was Brian Ashton!)
WOW! I asked if he had read it and he said, “No.” I told him I didn’t believe in coincidence and that he really needed to. “2 times in less than 6 months, maybe I should.” He said”.” I obviously agreed and informed him it is the most important decision he would ever make and to really take time to see for himself. We chatted briefly before he got some customers and I wished him well and left him to let God work.
Please be praying for God to stir the hearts of the girls, young couple’s and Russell’s may he get the glory and for them to accept the awesome gift of salvation from our deserving God. We never know how many times someone needs to get loved on by one of us before God opens their hard heart. How long did it take you to die to yourself? What if no one shared the gospel with you? We never know who is ready to call upon our Lord to save them until we stand and deliver the gospel to everyone. Let’s be bold for our God that rescued us from our sinful selves and ultimately from eternal separation from him in hell. He deserves it.
In the deep, dark waters we cast out our nets,
