First, watch this video:

I was extremely encouraged by that lady.
I want to meet her but if I don't before either one or both of our lives on earth are over, I know that I will see her in heaven.
I long for ministry opportunities just like that one. It's hard to live out your faith in a radical way when life seems so "normal." I mean, every day is drastically different in every possible way from another but crazy opportunities like what happened to that lady don't happen often, if ever, to most people. I will not discount the opportunities that God has given me to share my faith with others, I just haven't had anyone react in the same way that the lady claims the man who tried to rob her did. I wish I could see the Spirit working, moving, changing people's hearts. Changing my heart.
The video mentions that this lady's story is being spread, and I am again in wonder at how God uses these situations to bring glory to His name. This lady was not looking for attention, but she took her opportunity to minister and God has blessed her through it and has used it for bigger impact than I'm sure she expected.
As this lady has done, we as Christians are all called to spread the gospel message:
"For 'everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.' How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!'"
- Romans 10:13-15
Yes, Lord. Send me. Amen.
