This lady could use some prayers :)

I had a neat experience yesterday. I was talking to a lady on the phone. She called me hoping to purchase something my home business sells. She complimented me and the business, and I thanked her, but mentioned that Jesus was the One to whom I give credit, and added that my parents had dedicated me to Him before I was even born and asked Him to help them raise me. "That's neat" she said. "I'm Jewish, though, so that won't work for me". "Oh, I actually had an uncle who was Jewish, yet before he died he came to believe in Jesus as his Savior!" I said. I mentioned that many Jewish people had read Isaiah 53 and became convinced that the prophesies about the coming Messiah were referring to Yeshua. She said that she had many Christian friends and had noticed that they seemed to do better in life; that their Christianity really seemed to help them. "I hope that doesn't seem rude" she said. "Oh, no, not at all!" I said. "In fact, that sounds really sweet; thank you for saying so." I mentioned a little bit more about the Lord to her. If you all can pray that Jesus will show her that He adores her along with the other Jewish people, please do, or however you feel led to pray, of course. I don't know her name; she had to measure something before she called me back, and she hasn't yet, but if I hear any more news, I'll let you know. Thanks again, everyone :) <3.

Jilly, that just SO like the Lord, isn't it? :)

How very gracious of Him to use your faithfulness in your work
to reach this lady. &#9829;
I commend you for that faithfulness, and for your excellent witness thereby.

And I include this one, who is nameless to us, but well known and loved by the Lord Jesus,
in my prayers, for His perfect will.
It doesn't get better than that ! :)

Thank you, Pickles :)! God bless you as well. *hugs back*

Yes, Ellie, I agree; it's just like Him to use us in bizarre and interesting ways when we let Him :). Chances to say things like that seem to come up pretty often if we look for them. I wish I could say that I always followed leading and said things like that when I should. Good thing Someone loves and forgives us in spite of our occasional (or even often :S) disobedience, or we'd all be doomed. Praise His Name for His forgiveness :)!

BBL to respond to Dreda and Shekaniah :)!

Thank you, Dreda :)! That's really nice of you to say. I hope she meets Jesus soon. She was awfully kind when she was referring to the Christians she knows, which is certainly a good sign, but I hope she joins our side soon. Well, HIS side :). God bless you too, Sis :).

Thank you, Shekaniah! I hope I didn't write this in such a way that it sounded like I was trying to get kudos for sharing the Gospel with her. It did cross my mind that someone might take a mental note that what I said to the lady might work for themselves when sharing the Gospel with a Jewish person, but I hope that I'm being humble and giving credit to Jesus :).

Thanks again for praying, everyone :).

Thanks, MOM.

Update: The lady called back a few days ago. Her name is Lynn, and my dad talked to her. I actually hadn't told him about the original phone call when she called for the second time, and he was able to get some good words in for Jesus as well :). Still praying...
