Counselling at The Supermarket

Saturday, August 26, 2023

I was walking in a supermarket once, about midnight. As I passed the payphone, it rang. I had nothing to lose so I picked it up and said hello. They said, "Is this the counseling center?" I replied, "No this is Jonathan, but maybe I can help." They started sharing with me and I was able to counsel them to trust Messiah. Scripture teaches us to make the most of every opportunity. There's people who need salvation everywhere. Be ready to be interrupted and do His will. When you're busy doing your own thing, look for opportunities to do His thing; to be about His business. Be ready for any opportunity to serve Him, to share, to witness, to proclaim Him. Make the most of your time. You'll find opportunities, because there's a world that needs Him. There will be divine appointments waiting for you, even today. There'll be good works prepared for you beforehand so that you might enter into them. Who knows? You might end up doing a counseling session at the supermarket.
