I see Jesus every day.

Matthew 25:40 "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'


I see Jesus every day in everyone that I meet, everyone that I talk to. Today I saw him in the eyes of a 40-something veteran. He was haggard from being on the streets for who knows how long, his blue eyes accepted the kindness that I have to give him "you're the first person who wasn't scared of me." 


I see him in the man who is too mentally ill to keep himself clean and take care of his diabetes. Kindness is like medicine to them. I show them I care, that I love them and am there to listen and to help. They are somebody's baby, they are God's baby. I love them with all my heart. I cry with them when they are sad. I'm tough on them when they need it. Every day  I pray "Lord, let it be your words...not mine. Let it be your heart...not mine.


I see Jesus all around me, every day and I only hope I'm treating him the way he wants to be treated.
