The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.--Proverbs 11:30, KJV

My husband and I were returning froma city about 30 minutes away (where we met my daughter, and her husband as they came to relax for the weekend), and stopped by an excellent well known ice cream store and grocery. 

There was a young lady/older teen in the bathroom, and I immediately felt compassion for her. "Did you know Jesus Christ loves you very much?" I asked.

She nodded and her eyes became wet with tears. "Do you have Him in your heart?" She said Yes.  "Do you have a good church loving on you? I asked her. Again, she nodded.

She was trying to fix her apron as she looked in the mirror, and I was getting in the stall. 

"Can I pray for you about anything?" I asked. She said, no, but seemed glad I asked.

In the stall, the LORD continued to minister to her through my words, and even when I got out to wash my hands (It was just me and her in the bathroom. God knows how to arrange these things!), He continued to encourage her with words that He has a great plan for her life, and that HE'S GOT THIS!! 

I started to hug her, and probably should. I don't think she would have minded.

She did not come out while we got our ice creams. I would have smiled big at her if I'd seen her again. 

I believe that was a Divine Assignment, for, as the LORD has shown me through the years, for often, it's not really about the coffee/tea/ice cream, etc., when we have an urge to get a treat. He is using that to bring us to a point in time where we can change the lives of others!

Many, many people we will never see again till Heaven (and, asking them if they know the LORD and/or leading them through the "Roman Road" Scriptures, etc., to receive the LORD Jesus as their Savior and LORD if we're not sure), but even a couple minutes with them, through the Love and Wisdom of God in us, can change their lives forever!

And that, my friend, is why we true Believers in Christ Jesus are on the planet!
