"...great things he hath done for you."

1Sa 12:24 "Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great [things] he hath done for you."

I went to the hospital recently for 4 days. At first I was sad and depressed and couldn't understand why God let this happen. Then I prayed, and prayed and prayed... for a very long time. I got up one morning and met a young man who was hurting a lot. Jesus tugged at my heart for this man, but I was scared and walked away. Jesus continued to tug until I had no choice but to talk to him. He accepted Christ an hour later. The Holy Spirit was speaking to this man the whole time. It was so amazing to feel and see God working and using me. Little ole me. Praise the Lord. Then the next day I met a girl who was also hurting a lot. She accepted Christ that day. Then she met a girl that was hurting, God used us both to lead her to Christ. 3 people trusting Christ in 4 days, I never thought I would ever be used in this fashion. God can use anyone to further his work, if we are willing to do it.
I put that verse first not to preach or teach, but because it means so much to me now. I pray that this is an encouragement to all, and a blessing to those who need it. Remember all the things that God has done for you, and talk to those people God asks you to, because you never know how He will use you. Serve God, with all your heart in truth, and He will bless. Praise the Lord for all the great things he has done for me. I pray I never lose sight of that, and that you never lose sight of that either.
