"Sundays are the Worst!"
“Sundays are the worst!”
We stopped in at the auto parts store. It was a Sunday. I was tired and the lady behind the counter was tired as well. I joked with her briefly about how tired I was and she began to open up to me about her day.
She said, “Sundays are the worst!” I said, “why is that?” She said because that's when all the Christians come in here after church and are really moody!
I said, “I am sorry to hear that.” I connected with her a bit more, just listening to her as she got to vent a little and lighten up.
As we left that day, we had a plan in place to come back and bless her and speak with her again.
We prayed for her, that her heart would be receptive to the gospel.
Today, we went back to the auto store and the lady was there. We had a return to make already and after completing our transaction I asked if she wouldn’t mind coming out to check the battery on our van.
She said yes and followed us outside. After popping the hood, I said, “I have to confess something to you!” “I didn't really call you out here to check our battery.”
I then handed her a nice financial blessing and reminded her of the conversation we had the week prior. She remembered and was so grateful for the blessing!
I told her that since that day, we had been praying for her!
I then began to share the gospel with her and she was so receptive!
She said yes to Jesus right there in the parking lot and gave me a huge hug! She said, “I feel so lifted right now!”
What an honor to get this opportunity! The Holy Spirit was working on this lady and when the time was right, I shared the good news with her in such a kind and gentle manner and she was so ready to say yes to Jesus!
I sure hope this has encouraged you today! Remember to take time today to walk through crowds slowly, you may be a conversation or two away from changing someone’s eternity!
As my Pastor says, when we change a person’s perception, we change their reception! And generosity truly does breed curiosity!
Until next time, remember:
God’s not mad at you, He is madly in love with you!
In Christ,
Joshua Scott Zeitz
