Looking for Jesus

It was my flex day so I went to the chapel a little later than my usual morning visits. My routine was the same --- park the car, pick up my Bible from the back seat and head on the chapel to pray and talk to the Lord. I picked up the Bible and was about to close the door when got prompted to pick one of the two remaining copies of “My Hands in His.” As I headed toward the chapel I met a man walking to the parking lot. I found myself prompted to hand the book to him saying, “This is for you.” He accepted it and casually said thank you.  
The next day, Saturday, was spent on reviewing the pages of the “Scent of Jesus’ Holy Love.” The phone rang and I answered it. It was an unfamiliar voice on the other end.  He was straight to the point in letting me know that I don’t know him but wanted to let me know he was the man I gave the book to. I said I did remember him. He introduced himself as Dan.  
Dan was honest in telling me that when I gave him the book he did not know what to think of it. He said he was able to read a few pages and would like to thank me for it since it was one of those he really needed to have. And then he said, “You see, I am looking for Jesus!” Dan’s words went straight to my heart. It brought me to a familiar tune and sent this healing touch straight to my being. At that moment I know what had taken place! I was as enthused as Dan was because of the wonderful opportunity afforded to both of us.  
I am so thankful that the Lord made this event to take place. Not only did it help Dan, it also helped me to remember that I was in that same situation before. I have looked and longed for Jesus’ touch in my life. There was no comfort for the pain and the lost feeling I had those days until I found the Lord and claimed His love for me. The Lord stepped in and took care of my brokenness. When I found Jesus I regained my spirit.  
I know how Dan feels. His beautiful soul is searching for the One who holds all the answers to everything! Dan is on the right path and there never is a doubt in my mind that he will find Jesus and when he finds Him his life will be in for an overhaul. Dan will never be the same.
A heart often gets bruised, wounded and broken to pieces and a misplaced soul searches for that meaningful direction and needs to be properly led. Left on our own we will not be able to put the shattered pieces back together again but by His grace we can.  The Lord will give Dan a new heart – and because he is searching for Him, the Holy Spirit will lead him directly to Jesus’ embrace. 
God be praised!
