The Spirit Guiding Us

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit" (Titus 3:5).
On a busy day oat an airport, tone man was particularly rude. He had more bags than allowed, they were overstuffed, and the skycap mentioned this to him. He demanded that his bags be checke. The skycap went about his business, and the man didn't give him a tip. A couple standing next in line said to the skcap, "you certainly seemd cool. That man was so rude to you, it's hard to believe you didn't retaliate." The skycap smiled and said, "No big deal. That man's going to New York, and his bags are going to Brazil." The skycap had total control over the bags. In the same way, the Holy Spirit not you or me changes the eternal destiny of people. (Ref - Introduction to Evangelism by Alvin Reid p166). 

I read this and thought it was good story. We may be on a journey but ultimately the spirit will guide us according to His will.
