This message was printed on the backs of the T shirts the
staff wore for VBS (Vacation Bible School).
After VBS we went shopping downtown. Everywhere I was
conscious of that message on my back. I felt that every response I made should
reflect my love for Jesus.
When we passed someone sitting on the sidewalk with a cup
I felt honor bound to offer money – whereas often in my haste I’d pass by without
a thought.
In the shops I tried to think of words of blessing I
could offer instead of trying to hurry through the transaction, not taking the
time to fully look into the eyes of the clerk.
I intentionally smiled at people. Usually I feel so
rushed that I hurry through – not that I’m rude, but I just don’t make the effort to
connect.
As Jesus walked along He “saw” people. He had compassion
on them.
Since I want my life to count for Christ I wonder why I
don’t “intentionally” walk & talk & see like he did even when I’m not
wearing a T shirt with a Christian message on it.
