As I sat there during church listening to the pastor, I had one of those AH-HA moments. The pastor said something so profound that it opened up my eyes. He said, “God was a perfect God and that when he created us he knew when we were going to be saved. Of course he could do it in a blink of an eye, but he is also a patient God. He does it little by little and works on our lives through other peopl
e such as neighbors, coworkers, family, strangers, entertainment, and even as something as simple as a t-shirt.” That just blew my mind because it is so true. Our God is a God of perfect timing and I wanted to be a part of it. I wanted to tell people about Jesus directly and most importantly indirectly. My wife and I always wanted to own our own business why not make a business for the lord? For weeks I prayed and prayed asking God to use me as a vessel for his name. Much of it was unclear but one thing that I clearly remember was that I was at work talking to this stranger who was amazingly tall and I immediately felt the presence of God with him. The only thing that I was thinking about, was this person is a person of importance. He was very polite, and had a unique personality. It was as if this gentle giant did not have a problem in the world and God’s peace just radiated from him. Besides his height that would make any person look twice his way, I noticed that he was wearing a Christian t-shirt. I commented that I liked his t-shirt and he simply replied that it was his way of telling the world that he was a believer and that he was not ashamed of it. At that moment that I was awakened. I knew that I knew that I knew that I needed to remind the believers of Christ that Jesus is alive but most importantly show non-believers that Jesus is the way, truth, and the light. God has truly guided my wife and me, doors have been opened, and relationships were built even before the entire concept of Bound By God was manifested. We give all honor and glory to God and know that he will continue to guide us in furthering his kingdom.
