I see differences in the lives of people, between those who put god first and those who trust in the material things. Unfortunately there are so many ppl who think they have faith in God but when tried their faith crumbles... like a cookie :)
i had the coolest experience this last week... we are working in a new area called minas do leão and as well in butiá. we have 2 towns under our responsiblity.... anyways in minas theres a man (70 yrs old single) we´ve taught him several times, he has never been baptized and he wants to be but he wants to wait a little more. He is really cool and intelligent. he studies the scriptures a lot. But the other day he talked with us and said "i think i´ll just stay here in my church, but i enjoyed the time we had together." i thought that was it, but then he looked at me and asked "you are always looking at me so intensely, what do you see?" i responded "what i see is," paused and thought... "i see a man who is good, who loves god, but he is missing something. theres a vacancy in his heart and he doesnt know where to go to fill that hole. He searches but to no avail..." when i said that the spirit came and testified so strongly... i felt that God had just used me to speak to his child. sooooohooo cool
it was one of those "you had to be there" experiences....
i made a grown man cry @lex...
