Yesterday after I was finished conducting my monthly training for certain staff at my job, one employee stopped me on my way out and asked me an HR question regarding time off he needed due to his stage 3 cancer...As I was answering his questions you could see that this man looked sickly and even appeared to be in pain standing there in front of me....Jaime (is his name) proceeded to tell me that his recent chemo and radiation treatments did not work and that the Drs had not given him much hope!... At that very moment I felt the Holy Spirit tugging on my heart to reach out to him...I encouraged Jaime in his illness to hang in there and to surround himself with a support group to help him on this difficult journey of cancer...He replied that he had no one, no family and no friends!...I reached out my hand and said "You have me, I'll be your friend and I'll support you!" Jaime began to cry, and as I got choked up myself I told him that there was a reason why we were talking today and that I would be praying for him!
I'm reminded of Isaiah who when asked by the Lord "Who shall I send?" Isaiah responded and said "Here I am, send me!" Isaiah made himself available to God for whatever God wanted...He was willing to be sent to the people to speak to them of God's plan and direction for their lives. Will you say today "Lord, send me to the hurting, to the hopeless, to the loveless?" Will you make yourself available today to touch someone's heart by reaching out to them?...You never know who you will bump into that God wants to use you to share God's love with... Be ready!
Love you guys! KC
