Week 13: The Woman Beside the Cones

Sometimes, miracles begin with something as simple as a walk down the street.
It was just an ordinary day when she felt prompted to go for a stroll. But with *The Awesome Power of Blessing* shaping her heart and outlook, she no longer saw people as strangers — she saw them as divine appointments waiting to happen.

Up ahead was a young woman working on the roadside, placing cones for a construction team. Now resting on her own, she looked tired… and perhaps a little alone.

Led by the Holy Spirit, the woman walked over and smiled.
"Thank you for all the hard work you’re doing," she said warmly.

Then she added, “I bless you in the name of Jesus!”

The young woman looked up in surprise.

“Lady,” she said, “I’ve been thinking about God a lot lately.”

That simple blessing had opened a door.

So, the woman sat down beside her, gently listened, and shared her own testimony. She told her about Jesus, about the cross, about new life — and about how blessing had changed everything for her.

They sat in quiet for a moment, letting the weight of grace hang in the air.

Then came the gentle question:

“Would you like to ask Jesus into your heart to be your Lord and Saviour?”

The young woman paused — then smiled and said, “Yes, I would like to, please.”

Right there beside the traffic cones, she repeated a simple prayer of salvation. Heaven rejoiced… and so did they. Tears were shed. A hug was shared.

A life was changed.

All because someone chose to speak a blessing.
