Fishing for men...

...requires a heart of compassion that only comes from knowing Christ. Today as I was walking to Save on Foods I couldn't help but notice the eyes of a homeless man desiring compassion from a stranger. Surely someone must have noticed this man enough to give him a few coins to buy a lunch or a drink. But the people walking past this man simply said, "No, I'm sorry I don't have any change." This compelled me to pray asking God's guidance in how I could help this man. After all I am a woman walking all alone and this man may or may not have pure intentions. So immediately after praying I could sense God prompting me to at least talk to this man. As I was talking with him I was filled with Christ's love. As I looked into his eyes, I knew God was telling me to love this man as he does. I told him, "I don't have any change but if you would like anything from 'Save on' I could pick something up for you." His request was simple, "Would you pick me up a chicken pot pie?" I replied, "Yeah I can get that for you." This simply request energized me with excitement just knowing that God had given me this opportunity to serve and love this man as Christ would. Thanks Lord for giving me this opportunity to share your compassion!
