Otto

One of my patients, now 88 yr old Otto, has been someone the Lord has had me minister to as he comes in twice a year. Today he ministered to me two-fold. He asked me if I've gotten married in the last 6 months since I've seen him. Of course, I haven't. He went on and on about how the fellows out there must be dumb and he feels like he knows me pretty well and he thinks they just must be idiots! If he were a young man he wouldn't let me get away. The fact that he thinks so highly of me makes me feel special(1) and gives me a testimony to God's hand at work(2). I've shared the gospel with Otto, encouraging him to seek the Lord and he now thinks highly of me. That shows me that the Lord is using me to show him something real. It's nothing I could have done, but Christ in me draws him. Lord, may Your light in me draw him not only as an admirer of it, but to his knees in surrender to You. Thank you for showing me that You are at work! Thank you that you are able to accomplish more than I think to ask!
