Thought From a Random Mind

                                   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 21^st, 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
