Today, I remembered a time when God set
me free…
It was a warm day in Uganda. We had a
busy schedule of church visits, house visits and hospital visits. I
was up to my ears in preaching; we had done it so often that month.
Daily, we were asked to have a sermon ready. But this particular day
comes to mind for me.

comes to mind for me.
As we walked into the hospital; a large
open room full of seats on all sides. At least a hundred people
sitting around waiting to be seen by the doctor. Lord only knows how
long they would have to wait. Many of them holding small children.

My heart is racing a million beats a
second as we walk up to a group of people sitting. The pastor turns
to us and says, “Who has something to say? Share the gospel with
them” Matt, steps up and begins to share a message with them..
While he is speaking, God is putting things on my heart. “Who ever
believes in Me, out of him will flow fountains of living water…”
Over and over again, this kept coming to mind. Matt stopped speaking
and pastor looked around at each of us… “Anyone else?” I
stepped up, opened the word to John 7:38 and shared the verse.

As we continued on with our month,
daily we were given opportunities like this one; to share who Jesus
Christ is. How precious is this life that He has given to us. Every
single time He asks us to step out and talk about who HE IS, is one
more opportunity to be FREE. This is just one more day that God set
me free.
