So a few days ago, God met me and my brother Matthew at a Mc Donalds (haha! imagine that). He used three guys(brothers), who not only didn't speak english, but didn't even know us; complete strangers. They had heard about my aunt Kelli's fatial condition from my friend who works there, and had asked if they could pray for us. And boy did they pray!
I have never heard a more sincere, and passionate prayer in my life.
They prayed for my aunt as if they knew her, as if she was apart of their own family.
You can hear them pour out their heart and soul to God, and pray for his mercy and grace, whatever the outcome.
As I listened more, I heard them mention our names. They prayed not only for her, but for us. They prayed that God would help us in our school, with our friends, in our lives; and treated us, yet again, as family!
Almost as if we've known eachother somehow. God's love was undeniably present in that room.
What I absolutely love about these guys, is that they weren't even sure if we understood a word they were saying! haha! they didn't know if we'd be uncomfortable, or if we'd be awkward about it; They really didn't care! The focus was God, and nothing else mattered to them. They just wanted to love us, and pray for us as Jesus would. :) Now thats an example of Gods love!
Now I have to stop and ask myself; would I do that? would I cross the line and love on someone I don't even know? What about if they didn't speak my language? what then? Thats integrity!
The men told us afterward, "we just thanked God, for the brother and sister in Christ, he has just blessed us in meeting. God bless you guys." -Sigh-.. and blessed, is exactly what we were. We couldn't stop geeking out about it on the way home. :) hehe
Any thoughts?
I'd love to hear what you guys think! :D
let me know!
