I'm still amazed that God allows us to go out and share the gospel and He uses sinners to share His message. It was a great night yet again and I honestly wish I could do this every single day of my life!
I got to speak with Diana who is a young lady I spoke to about a year ago. I see her almost every time I go out and I'm terrible with names but God really ingrained her name so I say hi every time I see her. This time she was with her boyfriend Juan (both pictured below), and I got to share the gospel with both of them again. It's really cool how Jesus keeps bringing her back and I really pray she repents and puts her trust in Jesus. She seems very sweet and kind hearted.
One of the more interesting conversations of the night was with an older gentleman who had a traumatic brain injury and has very short term memory. He said he was Jewish and he's too old to change his views now. I asked him what does he do to atone for his sin, and he said they do Rosh Hoshana where they fast and pray. I asked him what he thought about the old testament verse 'For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.'- Leviticus 17:11.
That it says blood makes atonement. He said he would take some tracts and read them and I was thankful for that. He really made me think about how we shouldn't take things for granted because one minute he was normal then the next he had a traumatic brain injury and couldn't think about these important things much anymore. But he was a really sweet guy and I really pray God reveals the truth to him that can only be found in Jesus.
One young lady I spoke with, maybe 14, her name was Kara. She read a tract I gave her and then came over and started telling me she was an atheist and didn't believe any of that. I started going through some things with her and at first she was really mocking me but towards the end of the conversation, it seemed like she was really thinking about these things and listening intently. Her friends pulled her away, but I know that God is in charge of all things and I just pray that she repents and trusts in Jesus. She seemed really sweet and had bright pink and colored hair.
I also spoke with a young man with big curly hair and he said his parents were methodist but he was an atheist. I started going through with him the flaws in the big bang theory and evolution and I really wish I gave more scripture to him. But he kept a tract so hopefully God is working in him.
Towards the end of the night I spoke with two young ladies Olivia and Ashley. I took them through the law and then shared the gospel that only Jesus can save. Olivia seemed to really be listening and I brought up the fact that any time we lie we know it's wrong yet we do it anyway. We ignore our conscience and keep sinning.
We also had a new fisherman last night that had some good conversations so overall it was a wonderful night! We also ran into several other Christians and it was just an encouragement to speak with them and hand out tracts with them.
We handed out like 1200 gospel tracts/dvds I was having a great night until I looked into the garbage can and saw like a hundred tracts. It made me really sad until I spoke with my wonderful hubby and he said that even if they just read the title of the tract, it gets them thinking about these important questions so it really does its job. The thing about almost all of us, is that we don't want to think about death. It's the last thing anyone brings up until it happens. So it's really good even if they just think about it for a second because maybe then they will ask where will they go after?
Overall, I know I have to stop worrying about people and know that I cannot save ANYONE. I am NOTHING and God is EVERYTHING. And not only that, God doesn't need us! But allows us to share the good news of Jesus Christ. It's amazing! Praise God!!
In His name,
Kay
