I walked into Starbucks for a hot drink and sat down with a warm heart. I wasn’t planning on this warm heart or alone time with God, but God is good at planning spontaneous dates. After ordering my drink, I noticed the girl that walked in. God was highlighting her. He adored her. I felt as though I was supposed to buy her drink. My flesh got nervous… “would she think that I was hitting on her? would it be weird? what if she says no? how will she respond?” I was about to ignore the prompt and sit down, but I found my arms reaching for my wallet and my legs running to beat the cashier from swiping. The girl was shocked. To be honest, I was shocked as well. The cashier was also shocked. There we were, standing there completely shocked. Haha. Finally the lady swiped my card and the girl put back hers. It was a beautiful exchange. I told the girl why I was purchasing her drink and her face brightened, so did the cashiers. The outcome of this simple gesture was interesting. The cashier wanted to bless me. She told me that as long as I was there throughout the night I could have anything on the house. This reminded me of heavens resources. *grin* Then I sat back down with a warm heart and my hot drink.
You can never out give God. Next time you feel the desire to share what you have been given (time, a hug, money, or other resources), I encourage you to do it! There is NO lack in the Kingdom. There is always enough.
My heart is warm now, too :)
Oh, Ms. Courtney, thanks for sharing this. :) what i needed to be reminded of and the story itself just brightened my day (or night).
Beautiful moment. You’re a great inspiration in matters of love and kingdom ways. Thank you for writing!
