Bread of life.
Read by Megan skein.
I'm the living bread that came
down from heaven, John 6 51.
During a south Queensland
youth rush program.
Naomi I prayed for a divine
appointment where she could share a
copy of Bible answers with someone.
Later that day, she saw a
young man exiting his youth
and decided to canvas him.
He was interested in buying
a couple of health books.
As Naomi conversed with him, she
found out that he was 18 years
old and an award-winning baker.
She longed to give him a spiritual
book that would lead him to the bread
of life and prayed that he would
give a generous donation so that
she could give him an extra book.
Although he did give a
substantial donation.
He said that he didn't
want anything extra.
Naomi was determined that he
leave with something spiritual.
So she showed him a copy of the great
controversy, expecting him to be hesitant.
Instead.
He shocked her when he told her, I've just
been thinking about this kind of thing.
The other day, I visited a
cafe near work And there was a
book on Bible prophecy there.
I started reading it and then went
back the next day to finish it.
I've been looking at the
signs of Jesus's return.
Naomi remembered her morning prayer
and showed him the Bible answers
book, telling him that it explained
Bible prophecy in a simple manner.
He was very happy to receive both
the great controversy and Bible
answers saying, this is exactly
what I needed at the right time.
And it came to me at my doorstep.
I didn't know where to
get it, but he came to me.
