Maybe next time?
I received an unexpected phone call yesterday asking me to share the gospel with some prisoners. As the caller talked, my mind prepared a line of retreat. At first it was going to be that I would love to go but how about I share next time. Delay is a well used tactic of mine. Thankfully the man who called kept on talking and as he did the Lord worked on me. The Holy Spirit convicted me that if not now, then when. An opportunity was here before me and it was not by chance. I needed to take hold of it and simply speak the truth of the gospel. No one really cares about what I have to say nor should they. I am not the burning bush. God has spoken and His truth is in the Bible. I just need to share that truth. I thank the Lord for my long-winded friend and that a barrier was broken in my heart and mind as he talked to me. The task is still before me but I will not be afraid. I will prepare and will simply share the soul-saving gospel of Christ. Lord Jesus I thank you for this cha
