Who you are speaking to, and who needs to hear what you have to say, are not always one and the same. I remember long ago my mother saying, "If you have business with Macy’s, what are you doing in Sears?” I recall thinking she was right on target then, and even now realize it applies to whenever we find ourselves in what appears to be the wrong place, speaking to the wrong person.
Speaking to women as I do, I am very aware of when I have said enough, and just need to leave the rest alone. I have done my part and now it is up to the Lord to bring clarity to the individual as to the importance of what has been said, and how or if, it applies to them. For my part I want to have the discernment to know if I am speaking to the right person, then I will proceed gently, knowing that the Holy Spirit is guiding the conversation. The key is that I am listening, and then responding in a way that will deepen my understanding as I go forward. I am sure there are times when I don't get it right, but my objective is to always be in sync with where the Lord is leading, and then to step out in confidence.
Being in the center of God’s will does not mean we will always be in the right physical place. We know we are connected to the Lord, that the outcome will be what He desires, but if I turn left when I should turn right, then it does not mean all is lost. It is not a perfect science, and we will make mistakes, but those potential mistakes will not keep us from being blessed as we step out in faith.
Each and every person carries significance, and as we find ourselves drawn into these encounters, regardless of how brief, we will see that we are capable of impacting lives as we acknowledge and recognize that they are all important in the eyes of God. No effort we make to connect to another person is ever wrong, and we can trust that the Lord will use it for His good.
Romans 8:28 NIV "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."
