We had to find some items to place in our home of ministry to welcome our guests. We went to a store, and I met a young girl who worked there. I noticed how pretty her hands were, so I mentioned that to her. She was surprised and thanked me. There was something different about this girl. I wanted to tell her about Jesus, but I did not have the opportunity to tell her about Him due to the rest of the customers.

The next time we went to this store, she was the first one to come and help us. We talked about some merchandise, and then I told her that her name was in the Bible and that it was very special. She smiled. We then went about our business in the store.

When it was time to check out, there she was again, the one to help us. I thought, Well, this must be a soul that Jesus is after for sure. So as she checked my merchandise, I told her about her name being in the Bible. She smiled again.

She then started talking about what she knew about a person’s soul. She said that it came from heaven and then it would go out from the body. “ I said to her, “No, but did you know that God wants you in heaven? He loves you. Did you know that the only way to heaven is if you believe in His Son, Jesus Christ?” She listened.

Then I asked her, “Do you want to go to heaven? Do you know how to go to heaven?” She became very interested. I noticed there were no customers around us. I continued, “I am going to help you to talk with God and make sure that you will be in heaven.”

She smiled and said, “OK.” We looked straight into each other’s eyes.

I said, “Let’s pray.” She began to pray with me, believing in Jesus as her Saviour and asking Him to forgive her sins and to use her life for His glory. Afterward, she was so happy and thanked me!

I asked her, “What are you doing for Easter?”

She responded, “I will be alone. My parents are going away.”

I told her, “If you like, you can meet us at church. If you can’t make it, you can watch the service online.”

She said, “That’s great!”

I gave her our information as well as the church’s. Then I said, “You now have something to celebrate this Easter!” She smiled, and her whole face was full of joy!

Before I walked out of the store, I asked her, “So where are you going when your time comes?”

She looked at me and said, “Heaven!”

 

“Lord, how You sent us to the same store again at that time because You were after this one soul. Thank you for directing our way to her. When I least expect it, You make sure that I don’t miss that one soul, even if You have to put that one in front of me several times!”

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
