a beautiful testimony!

When the Holy Spirit speaks I have learned by lumps it is best to listen. Often times it can mean the difference of wandering in the desert for forty years as was demonstrated to me about 13 years ago when I paid no heed to His guidence. Last week a situation arose at work the boss has asked all of us to clean down the manufacturing floor. I happen to save soda cans and bottles so does Diane who works a couple lines away from my station. She was not there on Thursday and one of the girls who works with her told me to take her bin of soda cans as she claimed the boss had asked that her recycle bin needed to be emptied. It was late in the day and the boss had already left so there was no way of confirming anyways it sounded logical enough. There was the temptation to keep the cans for myself since I knew the other girl didn't get along well with Diane and wouldn't tell. The Holy Spirit revealed to me that the girl was lying and told me to bag up Diane's cans and keep them separate and safe. Diane had been out sick all week. At lunch I let Diane know I had kept her cans safe and returned them to her and her spirit lit up when I handed her the bag of cans. I was able to talk to her about Christ life during the lunch hour I know there was a rebound effect as others witnessed my actions in the lunchroom. Many know what went down the last week and saw me return Diane's cans. What may appear on the surface is an insignificant bag of soda cans is looked upon by others as credibility in in the witness of Christ.

Dani, adds her own personal testimony.

Blessed!

~~

At a former place of employ, there was a young lady who was living in despondency but holding her own as best she could. I struck up a friendship with her, and one evening it got particularly bad. After our phone conversation with her down in the pits, I was praying for her, and was reading my Bible (shiny new one, my only Christmas present the year before I had bought for myself when all he** broke loose in my personal life).

The following conversation is paraphrased as best as I remember.

So I'm in prayer for her, and Holy Spirit says "Give her your Bible."

"Excuse me? Surely You don't mean my shiny new Bible!" (and here you thought I'm so humble and broken that I never question God ... I wish.)

"Yes, that's the one. Give it to her. You'll still have your old one."

"But ... it's my only Christmas present. I love my Bible and I can't afford to replace it!" (as if He didn't know)

"She needs something tangible to remind her that somebody loves her, and that I love her. Give it to her."

So the next day I get myself dressed and drive to work, Bible with me. Had written a little note for her in it and officially "signed it over" to her. Call her outside, and give her the Bible and tell her that I love her and that God loves her and that it was hers to keep. She break down in tears. She can't believe it. I break down in tears. I can't believe it either. And, I feel quite ashamed about my earlier reluctance.

Yes, when He speaks, we ought to listen. Always.
