To my surprise my ears heard him coming down the street so I was able to meet him in the driveway to tell him where I wanted him to drop the pod off. He said I was an easy customer and he was always grateful to find nice people. We chatted for a few minutes while he was getting the storage pod off of his truck. What he said next was sad but undeniably true. He said, \u201cmeeting kind people are far too rare these days, so when I meet nice people like you, it makes me happy!\u201d He said I can tell you are kind by your smile and how pleasant you\u2019ve been since you first greeted me. It made me think it\u2019s time for me to do some recruiting to find more smiles, more pleasant folks, more bright spirited persons to help build up our communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve had many conversations where I\u2019ve heard folks say the pandemic brought out the worse is people, everyone is so antisocial now, no one wants to show love, give a hug, or even crack a smile. I mean I could list all of the negative things that has come out of the pandemic but fortunately my list of positives supersedes the negative. While it is true covid has uncovered some ugly truths, the fact of the matter is, those same folks were the same before the pandemic and after one million plus folks have tragically lost their lives to this beast and other sicknesses; some folks haven\u2019t changed. Can we blame the pandemic? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So before Mr. Ron, the delivery driver, left, he blessed me by his beautiful spirit. He told me his dream was to own his own truck and work for himself and if I received a survey to please give him high ratings. I reassured him that he would be getting 10\/10 and we claimed him owning his own truck in Jesus name. He replied, \u201cIf it is in Jesus will then I will have my truck!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey still hasn\u2019t come yet but he has left a lasting impression on my heart that I must share with you all this morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My brothers and sisters God is calling us to recruit for His army. There is a great work to be done and though so many of us are doing it the numbers could be higher. You see there are neighborhoods, communities, schools, churches, children, families, relationships, penal systems, healthcare systems, nursing homes, police stations, hospitals, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and the list goes on that NEED positive affirmations, positive reinforcement, a kind word, a helping hand, a shoulder to lean on, a tissue to dry their tears, a hot meal, a song sung, a scripture read, a prayer prayed, sometimes they just need our ear. Whatever it is God can use you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friends you know the best things I love about being in this \u201crecruitment business for the Lord\u201d is: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>God doesn\u2019t care about your background.<\/li><li>God doesn\u2019t care where you\u2019ve come from.<\/li><li>God doesn\u2019t care how much many is in your bank account.<\/li><li>God doesn\u2019t care if you have a rap sheet longer that the Mississippi River.<\/li><li>God could care less what designer clothes you wearing or how much your jewelry costs.<\/li><li>God is not after your money.<\/li><li>God doesn\u2019t care about the car you drive or if you walking or even catching the city bus.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>No see that\u2019s where folks have got it all wrong. The thing I love about being in God\u2019s recruiting business is because He will use a perfect stranger like Ron the delivery man who came to drop off a storage pod but used him to drop off so much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The title of todays message is <strong>NOW<\/strong> <strong>HIRING<\/strong>. God is calling His children who are <strong>HIGH IN DEMAND <\/strong>to spread His word, His love, His grace, His mercy, His kindness to others. They don\u2019t have to be in your same neighborhood, they don\u2019t have to eat the food you eat, or even where the same clothes that you wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s time for us to strengthen our spiritual resume; it\u2019s time to put all those years of experience to work for the Lord. It\u2019s time for us to trade our excuses for Solutions. It\u2019s time to trade our NO\u2019s for God\u2019s YES. It\u2019s time to trade our sorrow to joy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose Luke 6:44-45 today because as these verses talk about how a tree is known for its fruit, God laid it on my heart to encourage those reading todays message to recruit you and to challenge you to use the fruit you are bearing to the glory of God. It\u2019s not about where you\u2019ve been, it\u2019s not about where you are not, but it\u2019s about what you going to do one minute, one hour, one day, one week, one month, one year and on for God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can\u2019t live for mommy and daddy, we can\u2019t live for the Porsche we want in the driveway, we can\u2019t live for the stripper named Strawberry with the dimple on her left cheek\u2026.no my sisters and brothers we have to live for the Lord. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ron the delivery man if you ever get a chance to read this I pray you know how much your kind words blessed me and encouraged me to further my work in the Lord. Just by your dreams and aspirations and talking about hiring you have furthered my desire to \u201crecruit for Jesus.\u201d Now I know I didn\u2019t feel out the application online nor did I dial the number or have a formal interview but I GAVE GOD MY YES. And folks that\u2019s all He needs. He is after your heart! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s bear good fruit and sow good seeds. Let\u2019s pray for our friends, family, and enemy. Friends let\u2019s increase our quality and quantity of fruit to help our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Let\u2019s recruit for God\u2019s army! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For your reading pleasure and when you get a moment read Luke 6:27-36. Verses 34-36 read: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">\u201cAnd if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinned to receive as much back.<br>\u201cBut love your enemies, so good, and lend hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be some of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. <br>\u201cTherefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>God knows our hearts and the desire of our hearts. The Bible says He is kind to the unthankful and evil. I know we are all sinners and fall short but God wants to bless us not judge us. There maybe one who is reading todays message that thinks that he or she isn\u2019t worthy because of the bad decisions they\u2019ve made. We\u2019ve all made decisions we regret but God is looking for something bigger than that. He is calling us together at this time, for His perfect plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will you help me spread the Good News, share a smile, hug, word of encouragement, positive affirmation? If so congratulations YOU\u2019VE BEEN HIRED! Your welcome package is waiting for you in the pages of the Bible. Orientation already started when you clicked on the link to read todays message. And guess what? There is a bonus at the end if you share todays message. You\u2019ve got your shirt, your badge, and orientation has been completed\u2026.NOW GET OUT THERE AND RECRUIT. Remember God is always hiring and His people are <strong>HIGH IN DEMAND! <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After receiving an automated text from the pod storage company I got myself together to go outside to meet the delivery guy.
