Unusual greetings can happen when we take notice of people. Jesus did that with the woman at the well. He opened the door of conversation and revealed the love of God in the midst of her brokenness. Have you ever done that? It really isn’t as hard as we may think. You don’t even have to be super spiritual, or over the top bold, it just takes being observant. Just the other day, we were coming home from the BSU game in Boise and stopped at a gas station. It was late at night, but as we walked in I noticed a woman crying by her car. I stopped to ask her if she was ok, and she said she wasn’t. I got to pray with her and help her, and speak some encouraging words to her, and then I was on my way. Not too hard at all! I believe in those divine appointments. God puts us right in the path of someone who has a need, and we get to be God’s hands and feet to show His love. My encouragement to you is to be observant. Watch for people that God puts in your path. Be willing to be inconvenienced for a few moments. Pray for opportunities for God to use you, and then jump right in. Don’t pass them by. You could be a catalyst to change someone’s life.
