Yesterday I told a Debbie Friley “whole life discipleship” story. Do we read stories like that (she was able to share the gospel with a homeless lady she saw while she and a friend were riding bicycles) and wonder, “Why isn’t stuff like this happening to me? Where are my opportunities?”

Here’s a clue. When I wrote to Debbie telling her how inspiring her life is to the rest of us, she responded:

Don’t you just love when you’re in your quiet time and you write in your Journal asking God to give you an opportunity to share the gospel that day and lo and behold he does! It is a rush second to none! – Debbie Friley, Navigator staff in St Petersburg, Florida

By the way, Debbie is in her 60s, still keeping physically and spiritually fit.

You have not because you ask not. (James 4.2, KJV)

At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison—that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak. (Colossians 4.3, 4, ESV)
