I was waiting in my car for a computer store to open. Across the parking lot from me was a van with what appeared to be a grandmother, a mother and a toddler. I sat impatiently waiting looking from one thing to another, the clock in my car being the center of my attention (minutes are long when one waits), when all of a sudden I heard screams. I looked up just in time to see the grandmother grab the toddler from traffic (it was one car but that is all it takes). Both the mother and the grandmother's screams could be heard all around the shopping area. And thankfully, the car stopped in time.
As I watched, fear shot through my body and I can only imagine how those two women felt. Immediately, it came to my mind how passionately we should be warning those who do not know Christ. We should be just as intense about lost souls on the brink, as these two women were about this little toddler approaching traffic. God, give us the words to warn and Your Spirit to make it plain and effective!
