The Lord Will Be My Strength!

What an awesome night our team had last night in downtown Athens! So much happened but unfortunately I am only going to share one story!! Like always when we're downtown we hand out water and worship. I asked some guy, walking down the street, if he needed some water. So he came on over to where we were and got some water and began to talk to us about his farmers tan! It was pretty funny but then Anna (The team mate who was with me) asked him if he was a christian? He said yes, but reluctantly. He began to tell us he had been going threw alot of junk. I'm not going to go into details cause I want to honor him, but I will say he had began to walk away from the Lord due to addictions! Anna and I began to share with him about the love of God and how God will always love him no matter what he is struggling with! We shared about an hour he was very open to what we said, I could tell he wanted to be free of his addictions but didn't think God could help him through it! I really felt like the Lord wanted the whole team to pray for him! We prayed and shared the pictures and words we received from the Lord! After we got done praying he looked at us and said that he never walks down that street we were on, but he felt like he should for some reason! He found out why he was supposed to walk down the street, just because the Lord loves him and wanted him to know that! The Lord never stops chasing after us. He created us, He wants to know He loves us!
