Showing God's love

I was sitting in a restaurant this morning eating breakfast and reading your book, Your Were Born for This. As I read the chapter The Money Key, I kept being drawn to a couple three tables away from me. He had a long beard and a cap with a skull and crossed bones on it. I never saw the lady's face. Toward the end of the chapter I sensed God telling me to pay for their meal.

When I finished the chapter (and also my meal) I asked my waitress for a piece of paper. On the paper I wrote "God wants you to know that He deeply cares for you. He wants to provide for all of your needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus...if you will just trust Him." I gave that message to the owner, who is also one of our church members, and asked him if he would partner with me. He said yes. I gave him $20 and told him I wanted to pay for that couple's meal. I told him to give them the change from the $20 and give them the note. He was to tell them "the person said this is because of the love of Jesus."

As soon as I walked out of the restaurant, I began to giggle. I am a 57 year old man and I giggled like a little kid! It has been 30 minutes since God did that through me and I still break out in laughter. I have no idea how the couple reacted. I only know what kind of miracle God did in MY life. I can't wait to see what God does next! Thank you for writing this book!
