"Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, "See how He loved him!" John 11:35-36 BSB
It was late as I drove home from work. The sun was quickly setting, and I was worn out from another long day. I just wanted to get home before dark to get some rest. As I was driving, I went past a man who was hitchhiking on the side of the road. I usually pick up people because it's a country road, and not many cars pass by, especially at that hour, but I didn't stop this time. I was tired and selfishly thought the LORD could surely use someone else to help him, but after a few moments further down the road, the LORD spoke to me clearly and said, "Turn around and get him." Instantly, I thought, oh yeah, my mind is playing tricks on me. It's not GOD speaking to me, and then again, I heard "turn around and go get him." Yes, honestly, this was the LORD I heard, so I pulled over, turned around, and when I was going back to get him, I asked the LORD why do You want me to pick him up, and without delay, He said, "because He is the one I love."
I had now reached him. He was still waiting there. I pulled over and said two words, "Get in." He started thanking me and said I didn't think I would get a ride because it was late. He said my car just stopped running, and I only live 30 minutes up the road, it is not far, he reassured me. Then I looked over at him and said do you know why I went back to get you after passing by, not really intending to stop, He said yes, I want to know why, I said because the LORD told me that you were the one He Loves. Then, in that very moment, the Spirit of GOD filled the inside of the car, and we both felt a Love so Great come down upon us. We started weeping together. All we could do was cry, we both felt overwhelmed with unimaginable peace and joy. It was one of those moments you take with you every day and never forget.
Since then, now, when I see people, those you'd think that the LORD wouldn't desire and those you might not want to be your friends. Again, more than ever, over and over, the LORD says to me they are the ones I Love. Look, he is the one I love, do you see her, she is the one I Love. Listen, the LORD says that about everyone, yes everyone, rich or poor, sick or healthy, dirty or clean, all people everywhere, the LORD Loves us, Sooo much, Truly He does.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 BSB
"God Loves You Sooo Much!!"
