There was a couple in the store, I just happened to almost walk into the gentleman, I almost knew he was going to smell because he looked dirty and sure enough he did. I said excuse me and thought that would be the end of it. However, I noticed down every isle I went there he seemed to be either in front or behind me.
I found myself asking why can't I just get away from him. Some how he managed to make it to the check out counter ahead of me and he was so friendly.... but you could tell that those around him were judging him.
When I got into the car I could hear this voice saying to me... "Your heart was wrong." I knew that my wanting not be bothered by him was wrong..... I did not know his story!
Why was he dirty?
Why did he smell?
Was he unable to bathe for some reason?
I noticed that he bought a lot of plastic disposables. I wondered if his lights were off?
I asked myself what would Jesus have said to the man.
What would he have done?
What would you have said?
What would you have thought in your heart?
We are asked to show the love of Christ to a Lost and Dying World. I think I failed a test today.
