The Observation

This morning, while waiting for the tire of my car to be patched at our local Tesoro Gas Station//Garage/Convenience Store, I visited with a very good friend of mine who was working.  As the morning rush of teenagers made their way in and out of the grocery section of the store, buying their snacks and drinks that would get them through this school day, a young girl placed her goodies on the counter to purchase.  My friend rang up the Sale and told this young lady what she owed, and she soon realized she didn't have enough money to pay for what she had wanted to buy.  I asked my friend, "How much does she need, I will cover it for her?"  The teenage girl looked at me and said, "No, that's ok, I will put something back."  As the group of girls left the store, one of her friends looked at me and said, "I didn't think there were any kind people out there anymore."

I smiled as they walked out the door and headed to school, and thanked the Lord that I had that opportunity to show kindness to someone today, but at the same time, it broke my heart; these girls have never been shown kindness.

And then I was reminded of Luke 18:8b: "Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" A question asked by Jesus.

Will He? Or will He be like this young teenager today and say, 'I didn't think there were any people of faith out there anymore?"

Christian, this world is watching...

    They are searching...

        What will they see?

            That's a good question...

                But that's just me!

"Let them see You in me,

 Let them hear You when I speak,

 Let them feel You when I sing, 

 Let them see You,

 Let them see You in Me."
