Yesterday, I was having lunch with one of my friends at Panera.
We just talked and talked and talked. I knew there was a lady sitting next to us, but that was just an awareness and didn’t cross my mind God would be doing something.
You see Jesus has consumed me. He’s my whole life so it would be rare to be in a conversation with me ever that Jesus would not surface, because He’s my sustenance.
I knew what we had been talking about when our neighbor stood up and said “You know, I know it’s not right to eavesdrop, but I did and I was so encouraged by your conversation.” She introduced herself as Gloria and I asked if I could pray for her.
She came to our table. We took hold of her hands and prayed the overflow of our hearts.
On Sunday, a pastor told me he had read a book that said “Is a place different because you were there?”
Today, Panera was different.
And we didn’t know our overflow was running into the other table.
The world is watching and listening.
How do you influence your environment?
It could be that “Glory” comes to your table as a result.
