Making the most of every Opportunity

October 17, 2009 –
A homeless man I know died last week. Willy was one of the men who accepted Christ as his savior at a Bible study named “The Fringe”. This study was directed by God in at a Starbucks in an area where gang members walk by, homeless walk by and people from all walks of life have stopped, asked questions; listened; asked for prayer and have had their lives changed by the Spirit of God. Willy was one of those people God sent by to spend time with us. I didn’t know much about Willy. He would show up one week and then not for a while. Willy always felt and made himself welcome. He would sit and talk about his experience with church as a boy. He liked to talk about fishing on the Sacramento River. Willy is my brother in Christ and now is at home with Dad. I am thankful Willy was in my life, even for a short time. Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore don’t be foolish but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:15-17 Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19 the days are short let’s be ready in season and out of season.Now you are in your Fathers mansion Willy. I can’t wait to see you there my friend.
