HOLY SPIRIT COMMUNICATION

The most amazing thing happened to me yesterday: The Holy Spirit spoke me, out loud, in english!

I was driving home from work, and as I got near my apartment building, I made my left hand turn and passed a lady who was walking on the side walk. She was rather elderly, hunched over, and was carrying bags and a cup. I could see that it took great effort for her to walk and cary these items, but I drove past her and continued around the corner toward my apartment.

Right after I made my turn, a voice told me, "turn around and pick her up." I have to admit, at first I said, "no." I didn't want to pick her up; she was dirty and messy, and I didn't want this to be MY responsibility. But again, the Holy Spirit said to me (more sternly, this time) "TURN AROUND AND PICK HER UP!"

Even though I didn't want to perform this act of kindness, I turned my car around and asked the lady if she wanted a ride. She was so grateful. She got into my car and I saw that yes, in fact, she was a little unkempt. She had milk shake dripping off the side of her face and she had somewhat of an odor as well. All I could think about was how Jesus wouldn't care about her odor, so I didn't care either.

I was friendly with her, and didn't end up needing to take her all that far - although it was too far for her to have had to walk in the state she was in. I dropped her off at the home she directed me to and she was so thankful. She said, "God bless you." and all I could say was, "No, God bless YOU."

She got out of the car and I immediately started to weep. I talked with God and told him that I got it. I really and truly understood, and I was so glad that I was obediant in helping that lady. I know that she appreciated my help, but I know that I got so much more out of helping her than I would have ever imagined.

Thank you, Jesus!
