Because of a little Bug....

Because of a little Bug....

"...making the most of every opportunity..."

Ephesians 5:16a

Yesterday while sitting in church, there was a new person sitting in front of me. During the announcements they called out her name and announced that she was saved at our Vacation Bible School. WOW....and we think VBS is just for kids.

I made a point after the meeting was over to reach out my hand to introduce myself and say welcome her to the Chapel and to the Family of God. She was excited to share her new found faith with me.

When I asked her what was the one thought that made her realize that she needed to be saved she said "it was the bugs". We had a bug theme program this year and at one of the closing messages (where the parents are invited to sit in on the message), the speaker talked about relating about bugs.

He was referring to how if we wanted to talk to a bug we would need to become one of them. Then he referred it to how God became man and became one of us to share His Love and Salvation with mankind.

This one little story of a bug was the trigger for her to realize she needed a Savior.

We need to watch our words; we need to be on guard at every opportunity...you never know when what we say will introduce someone to the Lord.

How many times have we passed up an opportunity to share the Gospel with someone? We struggle with "I don't know what to say" or "I was just afraid". This time it was only the words of a little bug (oh how simple) to touch a heart. Ladies let us remember that we need to be a missionary and on fire for the Lord at all times.
Romans 15:20a (New International Version)
"It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known."
Share your faith with someone today!!! Make this verse your verse for today.
