I spend alot of time at Starbucks now. Its the closest coffee shop to campus, a mere 3 mile bike ride. I’m all about spending long periods of time at places studying, so I’ll spend a good 5-6 hrs a day there.
Brian. An older man, has some mental health issues. He also spends alot of time at this Starbucks. He bought me a coffee and some ice the other day. A very kind gesture. He felt bad that I seemingly didn’t have the money to spend on Starbucks but was instead drinking Dunkin Donuts coffee (it just tastes better!) He knows us seminary students… he’s searching. Today we preached the Gospel to Brian. Today theology made its logical conclusion: application.
I leave situations like that feeling so small. And the great thing is its not about me or my words but its about Jesus and His call. It is by His Spirit that anyone comes to the glorious knowledge of Christ… the pressure is off- but my heart is still grieved for this man. Oh that he would be able to experience the riches of His grace.
