She didn't say much
I would wander around the streets of the city alot. I really didn't have any plans of going anywhere or doing anything, just hanging out. I wasn't really all that unhappy. I had clothes on my back and a place to lay my head for the time being. I had a couple friends too. I wasn't really looking for anything and didn't really miss anything. I guess I was comfortable, but I knew there was more of what I wanted somewhere. I just didn't know what I wanted.
Walking down around the "square" about 1:00 a.m. Saturday morning headed for nowhere, a group of about 10 kids were stopping and talking to any body that would listen, even if they wouldn't listen. One girl came over to me and told me that Jesus loved me. I told her I knew. She said are you sure you know? "Yes, I'm sure" I told her again. I knew God loved me, I was raised in church.
I didn't know it at the time, but this group of kids were witnessing for the Lord. They were trying to win the souls of the lost ones, mostly teenagers and the homeless out on the street. She tried to tell me more about Jesus, but I walked off. I guess if I would have stopped to listen to that girl, I might have been accepted Jesus in my heart right then and I would have found what I was looking for . I could have started walking with Jesus, instead of aiming for nowhere.
But my time came when I yielded, thanks to a praying mom and dad. I know God had me in his hands. There are so many times when he could of let go, but kept me held close.
She didn't say much, but I didn't give her a chance. I'll never forget that girl, living for the Lord, doing as God asked her to. I know she has prayed for me and all the others like me that she has run across on her mission. She could have been ridiculed along with the others by anyone on the street, but she didn't care. She just wanted to see souls saved. She was just a teenager as old as I was, yet she was already walking on the right path. I know I will get to see her in Heaven one day and I can tell her thank you for giving to the Lord, I am a soul that was saved-- M.L.
