Last PM we went over to some friends house for a cookout. They're hosting five exchange students. Four of the guys are from Germany, and the other is from China. We had an amazing time talking to them and learning about their countries. I got into a conversation with one of the German students named Patrick (he was 16). I asked him about his country's beleifs, and then his personal beliefs. He said he was raised Catholic, but we talked about religion in title vs. a heart/life change, and I asked him if Jesus had become his own and if faith was in his own heart. He said he was kind of in the middle, not just claiming the name of Jesus (i.e. he had some spiritual interest), but he wasn't given to Jesus either. He was so attentivte as I shared the Law and my salvation testimony. When I said that faith must be in your heart and that Jesus must become YOURS, he nodded his head and said "I like how you say that...I want that." We talked about the entire gospel, and I gave him a MDB and an American Idol tract (great messages, and also a memento of American culture...he loved them). Patrick had such a searching heart. I'm resting in my God who is mighty to save, and who delights to save. Who knows...perhaps Patrick came to American for such a time as this.
