Mistaken Encounters

My brother who is a artist and a chef accepted Jesus as his savior while living in Eureka Springs, AR. He owned Chez Chalres at the time which was a fine dining experience.

One evening a group of men showed up at his door looking for Charles but as it turned out it was the wrong Charles. But was it really? You see they were going to meet with Charles and he was going to be accepting Jesus as his savior. That is exactly what happened except it wasn't the Charles they had planned to meet with but it was exactly the one God intended for them to meet. 

In my mind meetings like this are divine appointments. I believe if God had not caused this meeting to take place my brother might still be on his journey without a relationship with Jesus.

Have you ever experienced one of those moments which you know was not a naturally designed appointment? If so share it with us here or better yet use it in your own story as you share the Good News about what Jesus has done for the world.

In talking with my brother about this painting he describes it as a picture of what happened at the moment he accepted Jesus. All of his stuff was transferred off of him and to the cross. Look at the painting and allow God to speak to you through it. What does it stir in you? 

God can use anything He wants to gain your attention even a mistaken knock on a door.
