Acts 16:1 KJV
Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
When Paul got to Derbe and Lystra he ran into this "certain disciple" named Timothy. This young man became a main player on Paul's evangelistic team. As Paul awaited his own execution it was to Timothy he chose to write his final words.
We never know who that next person we meet might turn out to be. It might seem like such a small thing to shake hands with someone you have never met before, but that introduction could be life-changing for the two of you. It, therefore, is important that we take each encounter with another person as a serious, essential and life-changing matter.
Get to know people. Take time with them. Look them in the face and remember their names. Who knows; this may be the most important meeting you will have in your life.
