Praise the Lord

Well tonight we had cell, and there was 5 of us there, for most of it.... 2 left towards the end to go to the soup run, and talk and share God's love with people. Cell was good.
At the end of cell there was a knock on the door, and an old friend was there. He had been to cell a couple of times at the beginging of last year, and we hadn't seen him for at least 8 months, he'd been out of town. So we invited him in and chatted with him for a while.
Now last year, i had talked a lot with him about Jesus and Jesus being the Messiah, and Christ has really kept this at the front of his mind, as when he arrived back in Adelaide, he remembered us here at Gen1 and wanted to come and see how we were and stuff.... However he came with more questions. Christ has been working in his life through this whole time that we didn't see him.
He arrived in town and rang a friend, and ended up staying with that friend.... that friend is a Christian. He has had deep conversations with the friend that he is living with, and then asked us some of the same questions and our response was the same as His friend, he was blown away.
This friend of ours is a Jew, so he belives that there is a God... however as for Jesus.... he is still working that out.... I believe that he can see that there is something real about Jesus, and Christians and their relationship with Jesus and he wants it.... However there is something holding him back from entering into that relationship with Christ.

So i thank the Lord for His continual and faithful work in this friend's life, and i pray that He will reveal Himself to our friend...
