I believe that you can tell a lot about
people by the way they treat those who serve them… such as a waiter
or waitress. I don’t appreciate people who are rude, short
tempered, inconsiderate, or treat servers like they are inferior.
Whenever we go out to eat at a restaurant where you actually sit
down, order from a menu, not off the wall or from car window, I often
ask our server if there is anything they would like for us to pray
for them about while we're saying thanks-to-God before our meal. We
have had so many unique and precious responses. They range from
surprise… delight… instant tears and confession… some will
bring friends & fellow servers over to talk… others share deep
concerns for close family members facing cancer & other health
issues… one girl’s husband had left them, house caught fire and
burned 1 week later, needed a place for her and 3 kids, & we were
able to help… broken family relationships… straying from God…
seeking a local church… single-pregnant-no one knows-alone-? what
to do next… some have asked questions… found answers & have
asked Christ to become boss of their life…& still other times>
silent shock. Some will tell us and hurry off… some hold hands with
us as we pray… others ask us to wait and please talk at their break
time. People have asked, “How you able to get folks to talk about
their relationship with God so easily?” I give them my complicated,
highly technical formula…Lol… I simply ask them to, “Tell me
about your relationship with God.” And they tell me. It’s that
simple… but we have to open the door. We don’t have to blast a
horn… or push our beliefs… but we do need to do is show the
respect, concern and compassion Christ had so that people can see
Jesus through us. Let’s keep on lifting Jesus up… The word says,
When He is lifted up… ALL men will be drawn unto Him!!!
Hallelujah!!!
