An Instacart shopper followed her instincts, noticed something was amiss, and ended up saving a life.
Intuition, that subtle inner voice that leads us, is truly a wonderful blessing. He has a unique way of softly steering us toward the right path. Even though it’s invisible and immeasurable, many people have felt these divine whispers, prompting them to take actions that reflect God’s love and care.
God Used Jessica’s Intuition To Save a Life
Jessica Higgs, a dedicated mom and Instacart grocery delivery worker, recently opened up on TikTok about a heartfelt experience that beautifully showcases how our intuition can be a guiding force in our lives. Her story has resonated with countless people, serving as a lovely reminder to embrace the subtle guidance from the Lord.
Jessica shared that she was making a delivery for a daughter who was ordering groceries for her elderly father, who was unable to shop for himself. Typically, she would leave the groceries on the porch just as she was told. This time, she sensed a powerful nudge from God encouraging her to push beyond her limits.
“I get there, and something was telling me no, you gotta help this man out,” Jessica said. Feeling a gentle prompt from above, she decided to help by bringing the groceries inside and couldn’t help but notice that the man appeared to be in poor health.
She shared, “He came out, and I thought, OK, let me help you out, so I grabbed the groceries.” I know it’s generally not okay to enter someone’s home uninvited, but I made a judgment call. I brought the groceries inside and placed them exactly where he asked me to. I know it’s not allowed, but I went ahead and did it anyway. It’s one of those moments where you’re meant to take a quick photo and move on, but I found myself unable to just walk away.”
She felt an even stronger urge to speak up, sensing God’s guidance after she smelled propane. Feeling lightheaded, she immediately sensed that something was amiss. She reached out to the man’s daughter, sharing her worries about his health and bringing up a potential propane leak she had observed.
The next day, the daughter reached out to Jessica with a touching message: “Thank you so much. When my son went to visit my dad, he discovered that there was indeed a leak. You truly saved my dad and my younger son’s life!” Jessica received a generous $100 tip from the daughter, and it was truly well-deserved. With tears streaming down her face, Jessica expressed her overwhelming joy and relief. “I’m just an Instacart worker, but if you see something, say something. I did, and I’m so happy I did,” she shared.
Jessica’s story captured the internet’s attention.
Jessica’s story has taken the internet by storm, racking up millions of views. Comments flooded in, highlighting that she is so much more than simply a “Instacart worker.” Her actions truly made a life-saving difference.
This story is a strong lesson of how much good we can do when we follow God’s lead and care for each other. Proverbs 3:5-6 beautifully encourages us to place our trust in the Lord wholeheartedly. It reminds us not to rely solely on our own understanding. Instead, when we submit to Him in all our ways, He promises to guide us and make our paths straight.
