Are you a follower of Jesus Christ?
Pastor David Staff
That was my question to an energetic, young waitress at an Olive Garden in Daphne, Alabama, last Saturday night.
Escaping the piled snow for a few days, our golf troop had just finished engulfing a table of stuffed mushrooms, salad, hot bread, and Italian fare. Hovering with an eager smile and serving spirit was Laura Leigh (her name badge), making just about every effort possible to keep 5 hackers well supplied with cokes and plates of pasta. The place was packed. Every server busy. Multiple assignments. But Laura Leigh made us feel like we were the only ones in the establishment.
Her infectious spirit spoke of something extra. So I made the inquiry. “Excuse me,” I began as the others filed out. “Is there any chance you are a follower of Jesus Christ?”
“Yes sir, I surely am,” she said. Another even brighter smile.
“It’s obvious,” I responded. “Thanks for letting Jesus shine through you.”
What a difference Jesus makes in the life of anyone who gives Him free reign inside, to shine on the outside. It’s what hungry people need.
Are you a follower of Jesus? Great…let Him shine, no matter what He has called you to do.
