Hi all...I have something I want to share as I am feeling slightly puzzled ...
I was sitting this evening in hospital waiting for a scan and a man walked into the waiting area and sat down in a wheelchair, he had something in his arm to suggest he was on a drip or that matter, but I know he was an inpatient because he was dressed in a hospital gown...
I was sat reading my pocket bible and he said to me " Oh what you reading ", I heard as clear as day his question, then I replied my bible, and he said "Ah yes, tis good ", then he nosioned me to give him my bible and asked for my glasses with his hand signal, it was then that I realized he was of a different language from me...So I gave him my reading glasses and he started to search the bible, then he handed me the bible back and pointed to me where he wanted me to read from, so I did just as he asked...As I did he closed his eyes...
He did this on numerous occasions, and once I had read the Scriptures that he wanted me to read, he gave me signs that he understood yet he never spoke English, he raised his hand upto heaven then pointed at his eye, I knew he was saying God sees everything...
The Scripture I read to him at first was 1 Timothy, about how we are in the last days, how people will become lovers of themselves and disrespect with no godleyness about them , and the last Scripture I read to him was about the end times coming...
He let me know he was Christian, other than that we could not understand each other , he was not even broken English yet he understood every word I spoke from the Scriptures...
I am just so Amazed at how God works through us, how God made His word come alive between two people who speak two different languages, it has definitely left a print on my heart...All the glory to God...\o/...
