2Timothy 4:2
" Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching".
I was going about my day, running around and doing all sorts of different things when as I was walking by a pregnant woman sitting down and a translator right beside her. I paused to see if everything was ok, the woman needed some vitamins and was being given some. She was from the Ravine area and was several months pregnant. She was given vitamins and as she was getting ready to go the translator said, "wait, there's one more thing she wants to say." I couldn't help but remain where I was looking upon this situation. The translator said, "She says that the man she is with does not want her to keep this baby. She says he wants her to get rid of it."
Right then Jeremiah 1:5 came into my mind, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations."
Before I knew it, words had started flowing out of my mouth. I said to the translator, you tell her that God loves the baby inside of her and that He has a special plan for her baby. Tell her God is going to do something important with the baby in her belly, that she can trust Him to take care of the baby!
Her eyes and mouth started to smile. She stood up and gave us all a hug and kiss and said thank you. Sometimes, it just letting someone know how much the Lord loves them.
I never felt ready as I approached this woman, but its in those times that the Lord meets you and forces the words from your mouth that He has already hidden in your heart !
God is good!
