Inspired Story:
Dr. Doren Edwards, a surgeon in
One day she came to see Dr. Edwards with physical problems, and he diagnosed cancer, with multiple organs involved. No treatment was available, and she was very bitter. Dr. Edwards, a Christian and a Gideon, wanted to talk with her about the Lord, but she wouldn’t allow him to share his witness. She did, however, accept a small New Testament.
A few weeks later, the doctor learned from the newspaper obituary that she had died. He sent a card to the family, telling them he had donated Bibles in her memory to the Gideons.
The woman’s daughter called him. “Could you please send us a Bible like the ones you donated in memory of our mother,” she asked. “We don’t have a Bible in our home. The last six days she was alive, her whole life changed. She was no longer bitter, she wasn’t afraid to die, and she said something about knowing Jesus. But she asked that her Bible be buried in her hand, and we couldn’t keep it. Would you please send us a Bible so that we can find what Mama found in that book?”
Dr. Edwards sent them a Bible, and to date the daughter, the son, and one sister have been saved as a result. Morgan, R. J
Quote: Success in witnessing is simply taking the initiative to share Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, then leaving the results to God.—Bill Bright
Prayer for today: Dear Lord, help me to have confident and courage to witness the good news about your grace and salvation to my families and friends. Amen.
