Nothing Happened

Well, I had to go to the store real quick again today. Today, I just kept asking God to show me who had a need and was "ripe" to be touched by the Lord. (Jon Mohl had reminded me of the story about the woman reaching out and touching Jesus's clothes as he passed through a sea of people.) I told God, "I don't know these peoples' needs like You do. You're gonna have to show me." I looked into people's eyes - the lady in front of me, and I asked God, "What about her? Is she ripe? Do you have anything for me? Does she want YOU?" Nothing happened. I looked at the lady behind me in line, smiled politely, and had the same conversation with God. Nothing. I looked for an opportunity, and prayed, as the lady checked me out. Nothing. Just polite conversation. I headed to the crowded parking lot. "What about out here? You got anything, Lord? I'm available. Who needs you? What wants you? Show me their need. I can't see them." Nothing happened on the way to the van.
Okay, should I have done more? Was that what God's will for me was? Hmmm....I'm just not sure.
