Lydia...we don't have much information about her. She was a merchant that sold very fine cloth, she was curious about faith and Jesus, her heart was opened and she received the news of Jesus as God's son...she followed him and introduced others in her sphere of influence to do the same, she was hospitable and invited the followers on Christ to stay with her in her home.
Simple...she was seeking faith, seeking truth...she was gathered with others for prayer and discussion. She hears Pauls message and her life changes forever. Sometimes the stories we hear about faith are so amazing and BIG...and sometimes they are amazing and really quite...normal (whatever normal might be?!).
*How did you encounter Christ for the first time? Was your heart opened and did you receive him right away...or did it take some time for you to process it all?
*Lydia is so faithful in sharing her faith with other in her life...how are you doing with that?
