Walking with the Holy Spirit

Today…

I was pressure washing my shoes. Yes I know that sounds weird, but it works. As i was doing that, I saw my neighbors talking and cleaning their garage. I kept doing what I was doing when suddenly the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “God speak to them.” I knew who it was, and I said ok. I finished the job and turned off the pressure washer. Put up the hose put the machine back in the garage. I walked over to the neighbors garage and said the customary hellos. Then came the question, “What church do you go to?” It was what the Holy Spirit wanted me to ask them. This sparked an amazing conversation of past “religion” and how we had grown with God.

We must have talked for about a half hour or so. It was amazing. By the way, we have been neighbors for about 5 years. They have 4 children, about the same age as mine, and they are from Mexico. To end the conversation we held hands in a circle and I asked them if I could pray with them before I went home. The said yes. I could feel Jesus with us as we prayed for our children and families.

Do you think Jesus was with us? Answer… If the answer is yes, then why have you not done the same thing? Chances are it is the same reason that I did not. Fear. Ambivalence. Or it could be a simple “I don’t care.” Either way, we do not live on yesterday’s blessings anyway. So, now that you know yesterday is history, make it happen today.

Talk to your neighbor. Love them. Ask them what church they go to. You might be surprised what the answer is. Then…just love them. Love you neighbor as you love yourself. #JesusSaves

Amen.
