About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"SHARING JESUS' LOVE" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
SHARING JESUS' LOVE
IF ANY OF YOU HAVE EVER WONDERED WHY I WRITE MY MORNING MESSAGES AND STUDY THE BIBLE SO MUCH, I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU IF YOU WILL INDULGE AN OLD MAN.
GOD HAS BLESSED ME SO MUCH THROUGH MY LIFE BUT IT TOOK ME SOME TIME TO REALIZE IT. I AM SURE A LOT OF YOU ARE LIKE THAT. ONLY BY HIS GRACE AM I HERE TODAY. THANK YOU FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
NOW FOR MY STORY. GOD GOT ME A JOB WITH SOUTHERN RAILWAY WHEN I WAS ONLY 19 YEARS OLD. IT HAD TO BE GOD BECAUSE I DIDN'T EVEN COMPLETE HIGH SCHOOL. I HAD ONLY GONE TO NIGHT SCHOOL AND LEARNED SHORTHAND AND TYPING WHILE I WAS THERE. I KNOW HE KNEW WHAT I NEEDED BECAUSE THE JOB HE OPENED UP FOR ME WAS WITH SOUTHERN RAILWAY, IN CHATTANOOGA, TENN., AND WAS SECRETARY TO THE DISTRICT FREIGHT MANAGER. YES, I WAS A SECRETARY AND NO, I NEVER SAT ON HIS KNEE TO TAKE DICTATION. I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD THROW THAT IN BECAUSE THAT IS A QUESTION I HAVE BEEN ASKED MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS.
WITHIN A YEAR I WAS TRANSFERRED TO WASHINGTON, D.C., TO BE SECRETARY AND ADM. ASSIST. TO THE VICE PRESIDENT OF SOUTHERN RAILWAY. AT JUST 21 YEARS OLD, AND THIS WAS IN 1961, I WAS MAKING $25,000 A YEAR WITH A FULL EXPENSE ACCOUNT.
I HAD FREE TRANSPORTATION ON ANY TRAIN IN THE UNITED STATES AND AN OFFICE CAR AT MY DISPOSAL WHICH I TOOK ON ONE OF MY HONEYMOONS TO NEW ORLEANS. I HAD A GULF STREAM AIRPLANE TO USE AND ONE TIME EVEN PICKED UP MY TWO DAUGHTERS IN CHATTANOOGA AND TOOK THEM TO D.C. FOR A VISIT. NOW YOU CAN SEE WHY I SAY I HAVE BEEN BLESSED.
NOW LET ME TELL YOU WHAT SATAN WILL DO IF YOU JUST LET HIM. ALTHOUGH I HAD ALL OF THIS, OR BECAUSE OF IT, I BECAME AN ALCOHOLIC. I WENT THROUGH A FEW YEARS OF PURE HELL BUT THANK GOD HE HAD OTHER PLANS FOR ME.
MY BOSS, AT THAT TIME, TOOK ME TO A HOME CHURCH MEETING AND WHEN THEY ASKED IF ANYONE NEEDED PRAYER, I TOLD THEM I WAS AN ALCOHOLIC. THEY PRAYED FOR ME AND JESUS HEALED ME THAT NIGHT. THAT WAS OVER 40 YEARS AGO AND I PROMISED HIM I WOULD NEVER DRINK AGAIN AND LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE FOR HIM. BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT LOVE FOR ME AND FOR HEALING ME, I STUDY THE BIBLE AND WRITE MY MORNING MESSAGES. IF MY MESSAGES REACH JUST ONE PERSON AND SHOWS THEM THE LOVE OF JESUS AND IT TURNS THEIR LIFE AROUND, I FEEL THAT I HAVE DONE WHAT HE WANTS ME TO DO.
SO, SIT BACK AND THINK OF YOUR LIFE AND SEE WHAT JESUS HAS DONE FOR YOU. IF YOU CAN SHARE THAT LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE, IT JUST MIGHT BE WHAT THEY NEED TO RECEIVE HIM AS THEIR SAVIOR. WE CAN NEVER TELL WHAT PEOPLE WILL REACT TO AND HEARING OF ALL THAT LOVE JUST MIGHT BE WHAT IT TAKES. WILL YOU SHARE YOUR BLESSINGS WITH FOR SOMEONE TODAY?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
