I was very humbled…very much…but so thankful for this!!!
About 2 weeks ago we helped with a medical center project. While the parents had their appointments with the doctors who came from PA, we basicly babysat:0)
These 2 kids, for about 30 minutes just did not want to open up, to loosen up, no matter how goofy I tried to be. They were so quite, I don”t even know their names. They would not answer me. Hm, I thought, this will be very interesting….So I just started calling the little boy Conehito ( which means little rabbit) since he was vearing this outfit, and just continued to smile to the babygirl.
As we were playing there at the playgroud, Conehito found a cross made out of paper. He brought it to me and asked me what that was.
Well, my first thought was “Cool, what a great opportunity to share about the cross and Jesus to them!” But then I was like ” Right, to these kids who did not say a word to me, who did not seem to be interested in me…” So I just said, ” well, it is a cross” without even thinking to continue the conversation.
The Lord had other plans though. First and foremost to humble me right as the little boy has asked me “What is the cross?”
Just in that moment I have realized how judgmental I was, how I underastemated the power of the CROSS with having that stupid mindset. Praise be to the Lord for his forgiveness and being the God os second chances!!!
I could share the Gospel with these 2 little kids, without them interrupting and of course as soon as I finished the message of the CROSS, their mom showed up and they had to go:0)
It was awesome to be reminded again that it is not about me , but about the CROSS, but it is up to me to share it! There is an opportuinity in ever situation to share the message about the CROSS, may that it be in words or through my actions.
Think about how YOU could share today what the CROSS is (about)!
