The fishing has been picking up!

Beloved:

 Been out lately? I was out the last few days handing out tracts, and had an interesting encounter this morning! See I was out this morning in the Garage and I saw a lady walking towards me on the sidewalk. I reached into my pocket, grabbed a $1,000,000 bill and handed it to her "HEY, DID YOU GET ONE OF THESE?" I said. She looked at it and then at me, and I explained to her that it was not a real bill and that it had a gospel message on the back. She politely declined and handed it back to me...end of story, right? Nope..... as I was finishing up cleaning out my car, she came back! he asked me if she could have it to give to her son.. I said "SURE!" and then asked her if she had any spiritual background? She told me she was a hindu, and we had quite a discussion that centered around the "There are many ways to God" statement she made. I took her through the ten commandments, and the gospel, although I was kinda stumbling around a bit. I kept bringing the conversation back to the conscious and away from the intellect, by focusing on that Jesus was the only one who claimed to be the only way to the Father, and that he fulfilled the legal transaction that occurred as Jesus too our sin debt to the cross, paying our fine in His life's blood! Well, after a few minutes of further discussion, she invited me to their house for a sat-sang (?) as she will be returning to India after the weekend.
  After she left, I went into the garage, fell on my knees and thanked Him for giving me that opportunity to share the gospel with her, I stumbled a bit, and was a little unsure, as I am pretty new at witnessing one-on-one, but I also asked that He would work in this lady in a mighty way! Wow, after many disappointing times I failed to listen to the Holy Spirits leading, I am so blessed that He is faithful to give us the strength and courage to go beyond our fears and step "OUT OF THE BOAT" Always for HIS glory!
