Some people love the supermarket. I do not! Going there is very difficult for me. I seem to turn into another person. So many people in the way, items you can’t find, checking out, bagging etc…
The worst is when you are in a rush and you get in the wrong line and now you are there way longer than you expected. How do you react? I start to mumble, complain, count how many items are in the persons cart in front of me. You name it, I lose site of what my real purpose is!
The supermarket is my "mission field”, where I can make a difference in someone’s life. Imagine all the opportunities God has for me in this situation. Maybe the person in back of me is hurting and a smile and “God bless you” could change their whole day. Or there could be a person that I will encounter because they prayed today and I could be God's vessel to answer their prayer.
There are so many missed opportunities! My prayer is that God would call us to new levels of understanding, then we would truly know what it means to be His disciples. In 2 Timothy it says, “Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season”.
Let us be true disciples that Live for God and Love like God!
