I picked up a guy walking and asked where he was going. He said, “Honestly, I am just really hungry.” I told him to get in and I would get him something to eat. I always keep $5 McDonald gift cards in the car, for this very purpose. However, for some reason I was completely out of cards, so I pulled into the drive thru, and ask what he would like. He said, “Do you have time for us to go in to eat and maybe talk?” (Awesome!) If I am remembering correctly, his name is Chase, approximately 19 years old. I asked him his story and he said he was just released from jail for car jacking. We talked for a while and I learned a lot about his journey. After listening for a while, I asked if I could share with him one saying that I remembered my dad sharing with me. “Life is like a garden, you will only get out of it what you put into it.” I talked to him about the love that JESUS has for him. And how HE could never do enough bad to change that love. After about 2 hours of just talking, I took him to the place where he had asked me to drop him. I gave him my phone number and a hug, then let him know that I am praying for him. He said,”I appreciate that GOD cared enough about me to send someone like you.” I told him that I would ask my friends to pray for him, as well. Thank you for joining with me in prayer for Chase.
