i'm unfaithful. God is mercy.

"You have bound Yourself to man, despite all his unfaithfulness. You pour out mercy, and You open Your heart....
All man's empty promises lie broken at your feet, but You have never broken one. You open Your heart time and time and time again."
~Luke Wood


I was studying in Panera and thinking about the Lord and praying for divine opportunities and then this man came and sat down near me, eating at a table with his wife. He had a sling on his arm and they were talking about the prescriptions that they had just ordered for his arm. And I thought to myself, "the Lord can heal this man." and I prayed "Lord, can i go pray for this man? What are you doing Holy Spirit?" and I really felt like i should pray for this man, and i was kinda apprehensive because I had no idea how this man or his wife felt about the Lord and i was thinking " i hope they don't freak out if i mention prayer" but i was really feeling ok, and i was like ok then, i'm gonna pray for this man. So I was sitting down and waiting... don't know what i was waiting on, i just kinda was like i'm gonna wait a minute cuz i don't want to go right now, but i'll go to them before they leave. And then, this little boy was talking to me and i wasn't paying attention, and the man and his wife left. As soon as i noticed, i went out in the parking lot and looked for them, but they were definitely gone.

Moral of the story: when the Lord gives you an opportunity, be obedient. In hesitation, you might miss out on receiving or being a blessing. Also, Praise the Lord that he gives mercy and continues to open up His heart to us even when we are unfaithful. What grace it is that my unfaithfulness to the Lord's voice today has no impact on the Lord giving me opportunities to serve Him tomorrow.
