One of our musicians told me a story recently about going to a gas station and finding that the car in front of her had blocked both the remaining pumps in front of her.
She had to pull a U-turn and she wound up directly adjacent to the driver.
She looked at her, as she pulled out the hose nozzle and said, “You know, love and human compassion would indicate that you only use one pump space.
The driver said, “I don’t feel either of those things.”
Our musician was stunned and turned back to gassing her car but then replied, “What you just said makes me feel sad. I’ll pray for you.” Apparently, it was not what the other driver expected.
The driver’s head snapped around and she said, gently, “Thank you.”
She hadn’t received a lecture on kindness, but an example.
That’s discipleship.
