I love when someone shares what the Lord has done for them. Testimonies bring hope and refreshment to our hearts. Today while I was traveling I got to hear such an awesome testimony. I call it one of those “Divine Appointment” testimonies.
This woman had shared how she lived in Florida and she received a phone call on her cell phone from Pennsylvania. She did not recognize the number but she felt to answer it. The man on the other end was obviously confused and he said he was trying to reach a family member. He apologized and hung up and she felt prompted to call the police in the area in which the call came from. She felt a bit awkward but explained to them that she really felt something was wrong with this gentleman. The police arrived at this gentleman’s house and he indeed was in need of help. After a week in the hospital they diagnosed him with a life threatening blood infection.
Needless to say the family of this man were ever so thankful and this young woman’s simple act of kindness and going the extra mile very likely saved this man’s life. The testimony just really touched my heart. Everyday we need to be sensitive to opportunities that seem small yet they may be big to someone in need. Sometimes you never really know how that one word you spoke in due season could have sparked hope to a person’s soul. Let us be sensitive to the times that we are presented with opportunities to give a listening ear to a lonely person or just take the time to pray for someone because you felt prompted. These things are all part of ministering the love of God and just possibly setting someone up for a beautiful testimony of the Lord’s great work in their life!
