“A Step Closer To Jesus”

On 11/06/2024, my sister needed my help to run errands. I took her to Sam's Club in Pearl City. When I got into the store, I first saw an old friend from high school that I hadn't seen in years. We ended up fellowshipping right there for like 20 minutes. If you know us back then, we were rebels, but today, are servants of the Lord. Thank you, Jesus, for saving us from the king of darkness! So, after saying our goodbyes, I went about my way. As I was walking, I saw a woman I recently wanted to fight with right before I turned myself over to the Lord. God put it in my heart to forgive and apologize, but I made an immediate left to avoid her, but as soon as I did that, I felt the guilt in my heart. I said Lord, I'm sorry if she's still there, I will do as you want me to. So I turned around to walk back towards her, but I couldn't see her, so I was like, Lord, forgive me. Then she popped up coming from the other aisle. I looked at her and said hello there, but she was avoiding me cause she didn't want confrontation, so I was like, Lord, what do I do? And he kept telling me to apologize! So I walked straight up to her and said, the Lord is putting it in my heart to apologize to you for the last time we saw each other. I said I'm sorry for the way I reacted and that wasn't right. She said it's okay she would have done the same but I told her no… it's not alright. I know because we come from Waianae, most times, that is the reaction, but the Lord wants us to do better. After that day I've turn myself over to God and he wants me to do what is right. He put you in front of me because he wants to see if I am able to do what is good and righteous, so I am very sorry for who I was to you that day. She told me it's okay, so I asked her if I could give her a hug, and she said yes, so we hugged; I told her God bless you and your family, and we went our separate ways. After that, my heart felt so happy! I checked out, went to my car, and sang out loud with my windows down, "Holy Spirit, make me more like Jesus"!!! Thank you Jesus! Thank you Holy Ghost!
