two men, two needs, one jesus

we will go is not just about workdays on saturday or service on sunday. it is a an everday being available to share jesus with anyone that you meet. two knocks on the door. one is george. he lives in the rooming house behind us. doesn't have a lot of teeth, dirty a lot of the time, isn't working. he usually comes by for a glass of water or a snack bag. today he needed to use the phone. the other is a very well dressed, clean cut, driving a nice car, man from madison with a donation for the clothing closet. george uses my phone and we talk about a few things he has going on, he's pretty good today. he let me pray over him. then he headed back to his room. the other man and i unload the donation, have small talk, then i ask about his family. next thing i know he is telling me about his college age son who recently had the courage to admit he had some addictions and needed help and is now in a treatment facility. he said "i don't know why i am telling you this", but i know why. in the midst of that hurt i saw in the dad's eye, i saw lots more love. he let me pray over him and for his family. two knocks. two different men. two different worlds. two different needs. but the same ONE gracious, loving, forgiving, all sufficient, merciful jesus.
