Heart Ripe To Receive

We went to visit my uncle in St Paul. He had no idea we were coming as we had no phone number and he doesn't own a computer to receive emails. The main doors to his apt complex are kept locked so we went to an open window and called out his name. Thankfully, he was living in the same apt as eleven years ago, when I last visited!

We shared with Bruce about what God was doing in our lives. He asked plenty of questions. We answered them with as much love as possible. Bruce admitted to belief in God, in fact he had felt this conviction to attend a downtown church, but never did. He doesn't drive. He stated that he has had two major heart attacks and he felt God was keeping him alive for a reason.

I watched as this man's heart seemed to be ripe to come to The Lord.  I asked him if he wanted to pray, he didn't say yes or no. I gently asked again. We bowed our heads, being careful not to pressure him into "saying a prayer". We did not want a false conversion. But, after praying he remarked, " I feel better."  Time will tell if his heart made that true commitment, but, I believe it was sincere!
