Jesus on the Streets’

I saw Jesus on the street the other night and He looked like a 25 year old black woman named Priscilla. Tim was on the phone so I was sitting on the corner with my Starbuck’s cup with a few cents at my feet. I looked up to see her with a huge smile on her face. She asked me if I wanted the rest of her chips from Chipotle, which of course I did! That right there pretty much made her my favorite person we’ve met out here She began to tell me how she didn’t believe in consequences and she thought there was a reason we had met that night. She told me a story of about a year ago when she was rollerblading and got hit by an SUV. They said she wouldn’t survive, and obviously, she did. She went on from there to tell me how much Jesus loved me. She went through the entire Gospel and got to the end and asked me what I thought. I told her I was a follower of Jesus and she got way excited! She asked why I didn’t stop her when she was telling me the Gospel, but it was so nice to hear from another person that I just let her go. She ended up giving us about $7 which was a huge blessing! But even without the money she blessed me so richly in other ways. She told me over and over how much she loved me and how much God loved me. WOW!! The joy, compassion, and excitement flowed as she talked. She made Jesus very happy simply by loving someone. You don’t have to give money to be a huge blessing. Respecting someone and talking the time to stop and talk can make their day or week…trust me. Be Jesus to someone today. Even if it isn’t a homeless person, you can go out of your way to show love and to well, look like Jesus. Oh how different this world would be if followers of Jesus looked like our Master. Love you all!
