(January 18, 2025) A blessed believer humbly recalls a meaningful search discovering the Father…
How can I be a true friend of the Lord and how can I know the Father better, I wondered? What can I do to show the Lord that I love Him, and want to make Him smile, delight His heart? How can I walk in His invisible footsteps?
Such thoughts were heavy on my heart!
Designation Some paths were only meant for Him, but He has shown us one way to commune with the Father that any of us can follow— if, of course, you too feel led as I was. Allow me to share my journey—
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.
