So I was down at the canal worshipping the Lord over my lunch hour, when all of a sudden I see a girl come around the corner, smile at me real big, and then sit down next to me on the bench. It was a little strange, because most people just ignore me while I’m down there, so to have someone sit down literally next to me was out of the ordinary. I thought to myself, “God must be up to something.” She sat there smoking a cigarette as I played through a few worship songs, and then I spoke up and asked her name. “Cynthia,” she said, “and it was so weird. I was walking down the stairs to the canal, and all of a sudden my cd player got really quiet, and wouldn’t turn up. Then I heard you playing and you were really loud, and you sounded like my brother who just died two months ago.”
We chit-chatted for a little bit, and I began talking to her about God, why I’m out there worshipping Him every day, and how I didn’t believe it was a coincidence that her cd player stopped working all of a sudden, but that it was because God wants her to know He loves her. She said she wasn’t religious and didn’t believe in God, but felt that there was something out there greater than herself. I said I agreed, and that His name was Jesus, then I began to tell her all that Jesus has done for me. She asked me, “So Jesus has answered you every time you called?” I said yes, then she said, “He’s never answered me.” I could see at this point when she said this that she was tormented by demons, and I was getting quite uncomfortable and didn’t want to have a show-down right there, but instead invited her to come back and listen as I play there every day.
Then I told her I’d play one more song before I had to go. She said, “Play something true.” So I said, “Ok, but you’re not going to like it.” “That’s ok, just play something true.” So I busted out a rousing “Jesus Blood Never Fails Me” 
Afterwards, she said, “Wow… I can see just by the way you sing that you really believe that. Do you really believe that?” I said yes, and that I had to go, but before I go I wanted to pray for her real quick and asked her permission. She said ok, so I put my hand on her shoulder and prayed that she would experience the love of Jesus.
God is after that girl, so pray for her that she might have other God encounters and come to know the Lord.
