when God came after me

(hope none of you is a fanatical atheist... )

You know how easy it is to actually lose/misplace your bible... or have to search frantically for your bible on Sunday morning as u prepare to bounce to church... and how u can't possibly thereafter purport to have read your bible in the course of that week or month/year. (if u frequent church once in a month/year) Christmas believers! he h he.

This Saturday... on the one instance that i left the house... i got to the stage and as i was waiting for a mat and trying to let the rainwater drain off my jacket, some woman approaches. A pretty old lady who looks harmless, so i dont panic. And she politely asks, "Hello, do you mind if i share a verse from the Bible with you?"
Only God knows how flushed i felt in my mind! It hit me instantly how... the fact that i call myself saved and born-again (and all other holier references), really didnt distinguish me from the old man standing at the other end of the stage being 'accosted' by another Jehovah Witness lady, who i still doubt has a bible in his house. ( i have a number available at my disposal.) For the simple reason that my bible reading sessions had been squezzed out of my busy schedule.

Am convinced that God planted me at the stage at that opportune moment to communicate to me that i was really not being true to him and myself. And now, since then actually, i embark on a 'Meet the Bible Tour' where i aspire to make up for the lost ground.

Have a great week people... and find and dust those bibles!!!!!
