Philip And The Desert

Philip And The Desert

     My husband preached a sermon about the Ethiopian eunuch. How Philip obeyed God and went to desert place to reach one man. He left the place where multitudes were being reached to reach one. God is the God who cares about the individual. Even in the multitudes...He was reaching the individual. However, Philips' job at that moment was the eunuch.
     It reminded me that I was in that desert before I came to know Christ as my Saviour. I was lost and all alone.  I felt unloved and unwanted. I looked at myself as a disposable paper plate...used and worthless.  But, God saw beyond what I saw. He saw a child who needed a Father's Love. An unconditional Love is what He wanted to give. 
     A "Philip" was sent to that desert place where I was living. This "Philip" showed me God's love. My eyes were opened. I discovered that I was loved, valued and usable. I was not a "throw away". I was a keeper. I willingly accepted His salvation. My life was forever changed.
     Where would I be today if it had not been for the "Philip" who came into my life. What about you and myself? Will we be a "Philip" in some one's life.  Are we willingly to go to the "desert" place if need be to help someone else find a forever changed life for God?
