Have you ever wanted to talk to someone about Jesus but felt like you weren’t supposed to? I struggled with that this past weekend.
I flew to St. Louis to visit my brother, who’s been battling cancer. And I just knew I needed to talk to him about Jesus. He knows of Him, but I wasn’t sure where his relationship really stood. So I prayed, I prepared, and I was ready.
But when I got there, it was like hitting a brick wall. Every time I tried to start the conversation, my mind went blank. And it wasn’t fear - this was different. It felt like God was telling me no. I left that weekend feeling so discouraged, wondering why I didn’t get the chance to say what was on my heart.
Then, on Sunday, I got a message from one of my brother’s friends. He told me, “Hey, I just wanted you to know that I called your brother today and talked to him about Jesus.”
God had already made a way. I wanted to be the one to have that conversation, but God knew exactly who my brother would be most open to hearing it from. His timing is better. His plan is better. And He is always at work.
