Favorable time!

2 Corinthians 6: 2              ESV
2 For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.”
Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

I often matter of factly and commonly refer to an important date in my walk with God.
July 29, 1992, was one of those red letter days for me. It’s the first time anyone took a truthful opportunity to introduce me to Jesus.

Since that date, I’ve given my whole heart and soul to tell others about the Person who saved me.
I have to tell people what I know. I have to shout it no matter who it offends.
Actually, this devotional is an opportunity to express my true faith in Christ, and I am not one bit ashamed of that.

A neighbor we lived near back in the old days, (1983) would drive into our driveway to invite us to church on Sunday mornings.
At the time I thought they were either drinking a very strange beverage, or smoking a fine domestically home grown tobacco.

Our church for Easter 2016 sponsored an event entitled... “Each One/Reach One
It was an opportunity to invite others to church on Easter Sunday. I wonder how many did?

A young man who was suicidal about a year ago, asked me just last week... “Would you teach me how to love Jesus?”
He should be very careful what he prays for, but I’m provoked to do just that. It’s what I signed up for.

My mental stability has been questioned by many in the last 13+ years, but as my love for God, I’m mentally sustainable.
If today is the day of Salvation for somebody, who will you tell? It would appear to be a favorable time as any...
