Have you met an atheist?

I had the privilege today to meet an atheist.   The atheist didn't have horns or fangs.  The atheist didn't have a secret wish to kill me.  The atheist seemed fairly normal until the conversation turned to God and Christians. Until that point in time I had no idea that this person was an atheist.

This person used to think that there was a God and a Savior but not anymore. This person stated that it was through reading the Bible that lead to the decision that there is no God. It is the belief of this person that everybody is deceived and that when the end of life comes the dying person's body will be recycled.  I was told to read the Bible and I would discover the truth.  The truth that there is no God.

I spoke to this person and I tried to tell of Jesus and God but to no avail.  I tried to speak of God's grace and of feeling God in my life, even the times of feeling Him so close that I could feel His breath.  My words fell on unbelieving ears.  I was told that was just my gut speaking.

If this person should somehow happen to discover my blog I would like to tell that person; my gut tells me that Jesus died on the cross for me and for you.  My gut tells me that my body may be recycled back to dust (until rapture) but my soul will meet Jesus.  My gut tells me that the more that I read the Bible the more that I know my Lord and Savior. My gut tells me that I will live in heaven forever with my Lord.  My gut tells me that those that don't accept this free gift will not be in heaven but in hell.

My prayer for this atheist is that the truth will be found!  The truth of Jesus!

John 12:46-48

New King James Version (NKJV)

46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. 47 And if anyone hears My words and does not believe,[a] I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

My granddaughter got a pair of cowgirl boots for her birthday.  She loves them.  Every time that I saw her, after that, she had on those boots.  She was proud of them and showed them off to those that would look. She was eager to tell others about those new boots.  They were a gift.

It is now several weeks later and she still wears the boots but not everyday.  She still loves them but the new is wearing off.  I have seen her wearing other shoes.  The newness of her gift is wearing off.  They always will be a gift and the boots are still there waiting for the next time to be worn.

It reminded me of a time when I was young and I received a gift.  I was so proud of that gift and I told everybody about it.  If someone ask about the gift I was very eager to tell about it.  It wasn't long before the new wore off though and I didn't talk about the gift as often.  Now I still loved the gift but it wasn't always first in my life.  I went back to it when needed but sometimes I shelved it for way to long.

That gift was Jesus.  He was always there even when I forgot about the newness of the gift.  He was always there when I put Him on the shelf.  He was there waiting to be worn again.

My pray is that He will always be new in my life!  My prayer is that I will always long to tell of His sacrifice and His gift to me.   His gift is available for all!

22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
