John 8:46-47 "Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God."
Acts 17:24-25 "The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything."
What do these two verses mean to you? To me personally, they are ones that I have overlooked more times than not. But, to the Indian lady I had the privilege to meet last night, they mean everything!
Last night the married women going to South Asia went to a friends' house to prepare an Indian meal and got to meet an Indian lady who has only been a Christian for about 3 years! When we asked her testimony, she said that these two verses opened her eyes to the truth.
It was such an encouragement to hear a true "success story" of someone who practiced idol worshipping for so long and now has a relationship with the One who was not made by hands, who never sinned, and who created everything.
I hope we will not take for granted the truth that we are immersed in and the truths that are in God's word. And, of course, the realization that there are those who are waiting to hear about the true God of this world! What a surprise blessing to get to meet this woman and hear her story before even traveling to the other side of the world! What a motivation!
