mercy + abounding grace. PRAYER!

just today, i heard that a contact i had over on VSET 09 called n' asked more about the gospel...

PRAISE THE LORD.

not because i'm proud my seed sowed deeper, but because this girl's story warrants God's praise.

i met her while she was studying english at a university not her own. we spoke on God and his love. she somewhat understood. she used to follow Christ before her parents found out and nearly disowned her for it. we had one follow up meet up during which i pressed her to believe in faith that God was larger than her parents.

she told me she never wanted to see me again.

we never spoke after that. nor kept in touch.

but then, something, GOD! , has melted her heart of stone and given her a heart of flesh. she's seeking his face. may she not be deterred again. Prayer (please?) for this sudden interest to be genuine heart change and filled with new life.

...............

oh Lord, praise you for changing her heart! the seed which YOU have sown is of a deeper caliber than mine with my stumbling words. for you are the one who has made it penetrate the heart and your word has divided even spirit from soul.

BUT....

hearing her story makes me long to go overseas---to help with the reaping and the weeding of the divine harvest field.

God, if it's in your will. send me overseas at some point in my life! because i think about the mission field daily...
