Day 114 - No Guts, No Gloria

When I got on the elevator to go up to my office this morning, a woman got on. I recognized her. She works in the club at the top of the building. We often take clients there for lunch and dinner.

I greeted her warmly with a smile and asked her name. Gloria, she said. (I was kicking myself that after all of these years of seeing her in the club that I had never asked her name before.) After some small talk, I pulled a couple of celebrity million dollar bills out of my wallet and asked her if I had ever given her one of them before. What are these, she asked, taking them from me. They're actually gospel tracts, I said, showing her the million dollar question on the back.

She began to read. I asked her if she knew the answer to the million dollar question? Heaven? I don't know she said. Well, the bible says that you can know for sure what your destiny will be, Gloria, not because of what you do but because of what God has done for you. There's nothing more important than your eternal destiny, I said, so I encouraged her to be sure to read the back of the tract and act upon.

At that time, we reached my floor. As I exited, I shook her hand, told her it was good to meet her, and encouraged her to read the tract and I would follow up with her later to see if she had any questions. She thanked me.
