Tough

Today we went on visitation with our church, we set up everyone, & it sprinkled a little , but it went away. The first house I went to was weird. As I am walking to the front door the wooden door is open, but the glass screen door is closed, & I see a little boy about the same age as David sucking his thumb, & get this he had a lion under his arm, so did David it was so funny. The man came to the door, & took the John & Romans Bible said he would give it to the people of the house. Then he looks @ David , & tells the little boy, "look he has a lion like you" man it was funny. Then the next house over a lady answered the door, she listen to what I had to say, then she tells me she don't need it, I wanted to yell @ her tell her she did need it. I told her,"OK ma'am, but can I leave this scriptures with you" she tells me she doesn't need it. So then I tell her OK thank you for your time. Man it broke my heart, sometimes I would rather them just tell me no, & I wouldn't waste my time , but I pray to Jesus a seed was planted. The other thing that really broke my heart was when David asked me, "Why don't people want to hear about Jesus?" Man that was tough. I looked @ him & told him some people are lost, & don't know what Jesus did for them, that is why we need to be in church & tell people about Jesus." Then he asks,"Why are people lost & don't go to church?" Man it felt like the questions were getting tougher. Then I started explaining to him how we are all lost without Jesus in our hearts, asking him to save us from hell. Then he looks @ me & says," Come on Daddy lets go tell more people about Jesus". Then we get to next house I thought the questions were going to keep coming , but he saw a cat and started growling @ it, so that stopped all the questions for the day. Man it was pretty hard, to keep going thinking about that lady that listened, then changed her mind @ the end of the conversation. But we must keep going for Jesus, it is not us they are rejecting, they don't even know who they are rejecting. Till next blog.

@ Lucy, Yes those feeling let us know we are saved, having the Holy Spirit inside of us. I just want to thank you Lord, for saving my soul. Remind me of a gospel song. Well it is good our hearts break for the lost , we just got to keep doing what He commands us to do.
