Regarding the people I spent time with this week hanging
out on the streets.
If you have walked where they walk...
If you have slept where they sleep...
If you have eaten where they eat and eaten what they eat...
If you have sat where they sit...
If they know your name and you know their name...
If you have, for a moment, seen what they see...
...And feel what they feel...
Cold.
Frustrated.
Lonely.
If you lost hope... lost joy... looked for love..
What now?
Will you walk, sleep, eat, and feel differently?
Why?
How?
With purpose.
With passion.
Taking the nature of a servant.
Humbled.
Obedient.
Seeing the crowds.
Moved with compassion.
Shining like the stars in the universe.
Holding out the word of life...
Will their story change your story?
Will their path cross yours again?
