We always want to say the perfect thing and have such an explanation of the Word that anyone listening would have to give their hearts to the Lord. But it rarely happens that way. Most of the time, our part is living a Christian life for all to see, or simply putting your hand out with a CD or tract. This brother had a very simple explanation but it meant so much that a stranger overheard his statement and asked him about “those CDs.”

On my way to church on Sunday, as I usually do, I stopped at this particular convenience store. The same lady that is usually there on Sundays was working. She is always real friendly. She had said, "God bless you" to me several times as I was leaving, so on this Sunday after I walked out, I walked back in with a Witness CD entitled, "The Influence of Another." I said, "Here is a free sermon CD by William Branham for you." She said, "Thank you, Mr. Branham." I said, "I'm not Mr. Branham. I just give out copies of his sermons."

Here is the funny part. When I handed the lady the CD, I noticed a man at the counter looking at me. I wondered if I should offer him one. However, he was holding a lottery ticket, so I decided not to. I walked back to my car and as I was about to drive off, that same man pulled up next to me and asked, "How much are those CDs?" I told him they were free and read to him a few of the titles I had on hand. He asked me to pick one out for him. I gave him, "The Revelation of Jesus Christ."

I am thankful that the Lord overrode my preconceived idea and prompted that man to ask me for a CD!

Shalom.
