Nothing is more attractive than being like Jesus.
Before you start rolling your eyes and gripe that its so cliche, think again.
"The story is told of a Christian serving in the armed forces who was home on furlough. He was rushing to catch his train when he ran into a fruit stand on the station platform, knocking most of the piled up apples to the ground. The young boy who operated the stand tried to pick up his scattered fruit but was having difficulty. The apologetic serviceman put down his luggage and started collecting the apples. He polished each one with his hankerchief and put it back on the counter. So impressed was the boy that he asked gratefully, 'Soldier, are you Jesus?' With a smile the soldier replied 'No, but im trying to be like him.' "
When we look at how much the world sucks today, i think we could all use a little more love and compassion and kindness. Even tho we're rushing and busy.
i've come up with this theory that even tho we're rushing to catch whatever our "train" may be, if we bother to stop and help others, God'll never let us miss our train. And if we miss it, that means God's got a biger better train waiting for us to board. whees.
that was yesterday's devotion. tdy's one was on how God weeps with us through our pain. you know how that wel known shortest verse in the Bible goes, john 11: 35. the ever famous "Jesus wept" . seriously. so short. but i think many ppl doubt that God cares. kinda sad.but oh well you just gotta do all you can.
If you doubt that Jesus cares, remember His tears.
There.
