CIRCLE ABOUT

With all the lack of understanding and wicked encouragement in the midst, I have to share this story. Not to condemn anyone, nor to pat myself on the back; but simply to give an example of godly circling about, to those who may not know.

We've all heard the phrase "Circle of Life," well I'd like to think of this as "Circle of Love."

Last week, as I was sitting eating lunch, a young man, obviously coming down from a cush high, came and sat down at the adjacent table, with his back to me. And while he accused me of casting spells, I noticed that he kept turning to look at my food, with an obvious hunger. You see even though it was obvious to me that, mispercieving me as his enemy, the young man had bought into to the misinfluece and foolishness that seems to be pervasive in the land. Drug addict or not, we all get hungry - a natural and basic need that must be satisfied. Whatever the motivation, his behavior did not absolve me from my Christian duty towards him.

After eating half the meal; a very nice meal, I might add, of bourbon chicken with rice and beans; I closed the container, placed a clean fork and napkin on top, and left it there, along with a fresh bottle of water. As I walked away, I didn't even have to look back, I could hear that he was thoroughly enjoying the meal. That satisfied another basic need - that of extending true love, through the "fruit of the Spirit" of kindness. God had blessed me with the meal through someone else, in the first place; how could I, as a Christian, professing to have the mind of Christ, which is to give, not circle that love back around, whether he thought me to be an enemy or not?

Whether a World Series, Super Bowl, Basketball, hopscotch championship, or any other of our hearts' desires, "giving" is the circling about that moves God in our favor; not withholding, retracting, or ignoring the need.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Let Us Pray: God every good and perfect gift comes from You. Every blessing comes from You. God, You alone are my most treasured gift. I thank You for saving me from sin and adopting me as Your child. My heart spills over with thankfulness for who You are and all You have done. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Lord. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

Dear Lord, save the souls of those who eat with us at restaurant. We do not know their situation but we feel they are not saved and need Jesus. Please God. have mercy on them. You are the Bread of Life and can satisfy the longing of their hearts. Circle about us o Lord and fill us with Thy Spirit. Spirit of the living God fall afresh on me. Melt me, mold me, fill me, use me. Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me.

Help, guide and lead those who are lost and need Jesus. Encircle them with the holy presence of Jesus. When a needy person stands at your door, God Himself stands on his side. Invite them, introduce them to Jesus, He loves everyone who comes to Him. O I will bless His name and give all the glory and all the honor and all the praise because He saves, heals and changes those who ask forgiveness.
