Unselfish Commitmment

Since committing to the Lord February 10, 2002 I have seen some pretty phenomenal things occur. I have had the opportunity to see peoples lives transformed before my very eyes. All of these life changing things occurred becuase of unselfish decisions, whether by me or other people. I look back on the six years I have served the Lord, and the greatest times influence and effectiveness were times I looked at the bigger picture and realized I was doing something, and serving someone far bigger than myself.

This is the story of a man who had an eternal perspective and served faithfully, and selflessly. As a result he may have affected thousands, maybe millions of lives, and he will never be on the cover of any magazine, or on any television network. This is his story...

Boldness

One afternoon, I pulled up to my house after a long morning pouring coffee, and making lattes for "the man" at Starbucks. As I pulled into the alley way behind my house I noticed there was a brand new, shiny, Lexus slowly creeping up the alley toward me. There was something about it that seemed out of place. Using my detective skills that I obtained from watching hours of Psyche and CSI, I deduced that the driver of this car did not live in the neighborhood.


As the car approached the gentleman rolled down the window, pointed to my house, and asked me if I lived there. The elderly gentleman driving the car said that he used to live in my house in 1945, and began to reflect from his car. He told me that he was in the living room doing homework, when Pearl Harbor was bombed. I invited him in, but he declined. The gentleman said he had been sick lately, and he wasn't up to it. He drove off, but I had this funny feeling inside of me like I should have prayed for him

Here is what I am getting at, that funny feeling, that is called the Holy Spirit. Don't get me wrong I am not living in guilt or anything, I am motivated not to miss another opportunity to pray and see God move.

I read this awesome blog this morning about praying and seeing God move --> Here
