Honk if You Love Jesus
The other day I saw a "Honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker. I was
feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a
thrilling choir performance followed by a thunderous prayer meeting,so I
bought the sticker and put it on my bumper. Boy, am I glad I did! What
an uplifting experience that followed! I was stopped at a red light at a
busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord, and how good He
is... and I didn't notice that the light had changed.It is a good thing
someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have
noticed! I found that LOTS of people love Jesus! Why, while I was
sitting there, the guy behind me started honking like crazy, and then he
leaned out of his window and screamed, "For the love of GOD! GO, GO!!
Jesus Christ, GO!!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!
Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started
waving and smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn a
few times to share in the love! There must have been a man from Florida
back there because I heard him yelling something about a "sunny
beach"... I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle
finger stuck up in the air. When I asked my teenage son what that meant,
he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.
Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and
gave him the good luck sign back. My son burst out laughing...why even
HE was enjoying this religious experience! A couple of the people were
so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars
and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what
church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed, so I
waved one more time to my loving brothers and sisters, grinning, and
drove on through the intersection.I noticed I was the only car that got
through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind
of sad that I had to leave them all after all the love we had shared, so
I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window and gave them all the
Hawaiian good luck sign one more time as I drove away. Praise the Lord
for such wonderful folks.
