My other article this month was An Encounter With the Living God. Here I tell another precious encounter…

A Difficult Day
I was having difficulty locating the product I wanted while shopping at a local home improvement store. The item was on sale and the sale ended that day. As I sought help from a store associate, I became frustrated. The big box store was closing in an hour. All I wanted was to find the item, check out, and feeling so  tired, I just wanted to go home.
 
I’d had a long day. I wasn’t in a good mood. Three trips to the courtesy desk to seek help didn’t help my mood because the associate in charge of the section I was shopping in couldn’t be located. Finally, I approached an employee in a different section of the store. He was gracious and helpful.
 
After he located the item for me, I thanked him. Then, I noticed the cross hanging around his neck. When I commented on his cross, the young man replied,  ‘I just accepted Jesus as my Saviour and Lord two months ago. I give Him all the glory because He saved my life.’

Giving God the Glory
As the young man and I talked, he shared an experience.
