It’s hard to know what level of spiritual maturity people are at. Even after you’ve talked to the person you may not have a clue. There’s a lady security guard who said to me she had a lot going on in her mind. It was a difficult time for her. I asked her what she is going to do. “Organize and pray” was her response. I said, “GOOD! Good for you. God loves you very much you know.” She said she knew that and smiled. The interesting part of that brief encounter was that she was born and raised in Egypt. I have no idea what the level of faith and believe she has. My aim is not to have people replicate my faith and belief, but rather to encourage and uplift the spirits of the people I encounter whether they know Christ or not. Perhaps this lady prayed only when she needed help, maybe she prays all the time. It’s irrelevant really because I’m not her judge anyway. I try to treat people as equals spiritually speaking. I find that most of the South Americans are mostly Catholics. Whether they are practicing, or non-practicing Catholics is not known to me. For the most part Cubans appear to be atheists, in that churches under Fidel Castro regime were not allowed to exist.
The Gospel message is one for the ages. It works in all situations. No matter how much or how little you have the message is the same and the God of the message never changes. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing.
In His Name & for His Glory,
