This homeless man’s powerful and moving testimony will touch your heart. The unexpected conversation and series of events he experienced and shared will likely cause you to shed a tear or two or three. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to hear the man’s testimony and how the hand of the Lord was at work in his life.
If there is one thing to learn from God’s Word, it is that we are all sinners who desperately need God’s forgiveness and love. Without His mercy and grace, none of us would have a chance. Eternal damnation would await us all if not for God’s unrelenting and undeserved forgiveness and love.
However, even after accepting Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, human beings do not become perfect. We remain flawed individuals who can still be tripped up, stumble and fall. Perfection is not possible when it comes to humanity. But even when we stumble and fall, He is faithful to forgive and quick to love.
A clip posted on YouTube captures one man’s powerful testimony of how God was working and active in His life. The man who admits he’s homeless, currently living in a hotel and is battling addiction shows that God is fully aware of what we’re dealing with and going through and how He can and will meet those needs.
While on his way to get something to eat, a house catches the man’s eye, leading to a conversation with an individual. During their conversation, both men, named Brian, share that they are committed followers of Christ.
Moments into their conversation, the homeless man is unexpectedly offered a job.
“You know what the first thing this man asked me?” the man recalled. “Do I need a job?”
But the Lord wasn’t done yet. The homeless man’s phone was scheduled to be shut off tomorrow. The other man paid his cell phone bill on the spot and even gave him some money.
“I’m talking about how good God is, right?” he said. “He put some money; the man put some money in my pocket. He shared his story with me about how Jesus, how God pulled him out of addiction, how God has changed his life and put a whole business in his hands. And now I’m sitting here talking to this man, and he’s opening up his arms to me. Do y’all hear me? In recovery, in AA, they all say nobody’s coming for you. Nobody’s coming for you. God just showed up for me.”
What a wonderful and powerful testimony about God’s goodness and love!
