an inquisition of faith

i went to school for a mock job interview this morning. i was feeling quite tense in a way because i don't like interviews of any kind. i entered room 207 and sat on the empty seat across the interviewer. he greeted me with a warm smile and then began the "interrogation."

i thought the interview would be purely about career stuff but it turned out to be more like a discourse on faith. i was bombarded with questions like: do you believe in hell?, do atheists who perform good things still go to hell?, if i meet a Buddhist, will i try to convert him?. i didn't want to sound as if i was lecturing on the topic but i did tell him about the great commission and how people no matter how good they are are still condemned if they don't receive Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

here was a man of his late twenties asking a young girl about faith. i felt compassion for his soul and i wanted very badly to make him understand how it is like to have Christ in his life but his wall of defense was up. he said there are many bad things brought about by religion today. i felt unsatisfied about how our conversation ended but i believe it is up to God to talk to Him. i really wished we were in a different situation. there is nothing i can do but to pray for that special time when salvation will be upon his life.

i remember praying hours before the inteview for Him to use me in any way He sees fit. and when i think about the events of this morning, i can't help but be astounded by the way He answered my prayer. i know i haven't done much for Him by the way things turned out but i hope i have sown a seed in the heart of that man for him to seek God.

help me pray for him, please...
