Lord, help me to see my first meetings through your eyes.

Being alert to the possibility that God may bring a person across our path

will change our attitude toward first meetings.   

~~Dee Brestin  

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

We have many first meetings. Some blossom into lifelong relationships, others last only a few minutes. But that first “hello” becomes important when we consider the possibility that God wants us to minister to that person, if for only a moment.

Haven’t we all received a smile from a stranger just when we needed one? Or a helping hand? When we’ve been encouraged out of the blue in that way, we praise God for the unexpected blessing.

You never know whom you might meet today. Your smile may light up the day for a woman who is hurting. Your kind offer of help may rebuild someone’s trust in the human race. Even if you’re dealing with sorrow, perhaps you’ll meet someone who’s been there and she can have the joy of ministering to you.

Be alert to your first meetings today. See what surprises God may have in store!
