I’m Trying To Be A Christian
Wanting to purchase a reflective vest to wear when walking at night,
Rich went to a local store and was directed to the reflective attire section.
While looking for a vest, Rich exchanged smiles and nods with a man standing nearby. The man said something about what a nice day it had been, and the two men engaged in conversation. Rich commented that he loved the man’s accent… and their God-directed meeting took off!
Fast-forward some, Rich learned the man had moved to the area from Mexico 20 years earlier.
Rich recounted that he learned of the man’s faith,
but that he doesn’t regularly go to church.
So, Rich asked him if he is a Christian
and the man said he was “trying to be”.
That statement sent flags up in Rich’s mind and he simply took out a Gospel of John and offered it to the man. Then after making his purchase, Rich was leaving in his car, and he spotted the yellow vest-clad employee who helped him find his own vest. Rich described,
I stopped and thanked the employee for helping me
and asked him if he was a Christian.
He also replied, “I’m trying to be”.
Recognizing that God was very much at work that day, Rich also gave the employee a Gospel.
