I had a moment yesterday that just flawed me…left me speechless.   Our Sunday conversation was about Why I can’t Honor my parents and everyone was sharing some real raw emotion about hurts and disappointments.  Some of the stories were unbelievable but that’s not what flawed me. In the middle of a gut wrentching story being told by an 18 year old that I had known for ten years but had not seen in almost a year he said…’I am a Christian NOW…I got saved a couple weeks ago.’

2 years ago this kid was a Buddhist…I invited him to church…he came for a while and I was convinced he was there because it was across the street from his work and we had free donuts. But we loved him…and then one day he stopped coming and I could never seem to catch up with him.  Then yesterday he shows up and said ‘I am a Christian NOW’.  WOW….

In 1 Corinthians 3:6 Paul said I planted, Apollos watered but God makes it grow.  I was flawed by the majesty of God in those 5 little words…’I am a Christian NOW’.  At that moment…God smacked me and said I always make things grow and my word never returns void.

Don’t be discouraged…Love like Jesus…God will bring the increase.
