Confirmation.
One act of obedience. Providing a ride to church for a couple of people, and God opened up the floodgate. I have been given the opportunity to minister to my fellow co-workers these past three days. I've always had the opportunity to do so, but this week has been different. There have been a few deaths in co-workers families the past week. One lost a nephew. Another lost a mom, and one lost a grandson. Lots of sadness going around at work. People I work with know that I am a Christian, and I am a Christian pastor. So, one by one each of these people sought me out, and began to confide in me, telling me all about their loved one and the pain that they were going through. Did not matter what I was doing at the time, I would stop and listen and offer support and comfort. They would cry, then laugh. Struggle to get the words out. Ask for prayer. Ask for advice. As I am looking back on the last few days, I thought there it is. Confirmation that God was using me in a more mighty way than I could have ever imagined. He gave me the task of giving a ride, now He was giving me the task of listening. To encourage and lift up. I made myself available to them whenever they needed it. I thank God for all of this. For giving me ears to hear, a heart to receive and feet to respond. Thank You Lord for the gifts that you have given me. I pray that I use them for Your glory!
