Day 28 of " A Quarter of Love"

Sunday we were challenged to pray for our friends in school, while in school. So I woke up this morning wanting to share Gods love with someone. It just so happened that today one of my friends let us know that he is about to overcome something difficult, and so we were supporting him and telling him we were happy for him and that he could do it.

We were in a large group, and I realized that I wanted to pray for him, but I was nervous to because we were in a large group. a couple minutes went by and I was thinking to my self well I don't want to pass up this opportunity, and at the same time I didn't want to just wait till the bell rang to go to class and try to get him alone.

This is when God showed favor upon me, and our group split and he began to talk one on one with another friend and the rest talked in their group. So I took this opportunity walked over to him and listened as they continued to talk about how and what he would be doing. It was at this point I began to encourage him more as well and I told him that I would pray for him. It was funny because he said thanks and then i said right now and he said huh? I'm not ready for all that. I told him that it would be ok and to just let it happen. He said ok, we were both kind of nervous about it yet I smiled put my arm around him and began to pray.

Afterwards, he said thanks and was kind of surprised and he said that I was a real Christian now, huh? I told him that I was and that Gods with me and he would be with him too. We began to talk about it a little more and I challenged him to visit my church and he said that he wouldn't be ready for it yet, but i said yet is the key word and he just has to go and that he would enjoy the sermon.

I didn't want to pressure him so we began to talk about other things until Lunch was over. Later in ceramics I remembered a verse i had read that morning Jeremiah 17:14, and i texted that verse to him saying that He could do it.

Today was a real blessing for me, because I got to share Gods love with a friend, and even though it was scary at first God was with me the whole way and the overwhelming joy i received was indescribable. If we are willing, God will be with us every step of the way He just wants us to step out in faith.
