Good Job Men!! (This is my account of what happened when I tuned out God the other night)
The other night I pulled up to a 4-way stop light at night & my kids were sleeping in the back of our Tahoe after a night at my dads place. My wife sitting next to me said "Look at that poor guy holding up the sign over there"... I said "he has 2 legs & 2 arms, he should be working or looking for a job!!" I judged him... by his looks & his actions. Time went by, the light did not change. I saw the other lights change at the 4-way, other cars comming & going... but my light stayed RED. My wife said to me: "You don't know his situation" I said: "I know he should be trying to work insted of beg!!" The light stayed RED. It was like the light was not registering that I was there.. stayed RED. We talked for awhile longer about our night. Finnally, I said: WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS DAMN LIGHT????" My wife looked at me & said: "Honey give him some money for crying out loud"... the light was still RED. It dawned on me then... I needed to give him some help (the light was not going to change). I rolled down the window, gave him 5 bucks & said: "This is from God". It was all I could say... because it was true. The man said to me: "you don't know how much that means to me". Our creator taught me that a hard heart will prevent me from helping those he wants me to help... the light finnaly went Green. Guys, no joke; that light stayed RED for like 5 or 6 minutes... I laughed as I drove away realizing that I just spiritually got spanked. How many times has God tried to have me do something when I was too selfish to answer?? prayers are good... keep up the great work. Scooter
