James is a manager at one of my Shore Stops, one of the nicest and most pleasant managers to do business with. He is a real people person and seems to enjoy his job.
To my dismay he informed me that this would be his last day, his store was struggling with an employee thief problem. Of course since he couldn't`t solve the problem it was reason for his dismissal.
It seemed that James just needed a kind compassionate person to talk to. Thanks to God for allowing me to accommodate that. James told me of several employment opportunities and thoughts of even going back into the military.
As I listen and tried to offer encouraging feed back, James seemed to appreciate my true concern. I assured him that he will be successful wherever God leads him!
I asked if I could pray with him,"sure that would be nice." We joined hands and I began to pray. James was holding onto my hands with such a tight gripe that I`m sure the holy spirit was squeezed right out of my palms. His gripe suggested that he certainly needed these words to hang on to and penetrate his very soul.
John 14 : 1 Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.
