EMPTY LIVES
This past year I’ve been asking God
to help me see people the way he sees them. I came to that place in my walk
with Christ because I have been terribly guilty of judging others by their
appearance. I felt I could pretty much size anybody up just by looking at him
or her. It never dawned on me that their life is a complicated story just like
mine. I knew nothing about them, yet I judged them just the same. Once the Lord
granted my request I began to see something that I never expected to see;
empty, unfulfilled lives. It made me very sad and frustrated. I realized that
while I wanted to let them in on my reason for living, I had no idea how to
broach the subject. Ever feel like that? I’ve been walking with the Lord since
March 21st, 1979. I’ve preached and taught and even had 3 books
published, yet I have no idea how to begin a talk about the Lord with these
people that I rub elbows with each day. My next prayer to the Lord is “fill my
mouth with the words they need to hear so that they can know you in a personal
way just like I do.” May it be as I have prayed. Amen? Amen. rlkeller
