This is really makes one think!!!!
A few years ago a group of salesmen went to a
regional sales convention in Chicago. They
had assured their wives that they would be home in
plenty of time for Friday night's dinner. In
their rush, with tickets and briefcases, one of
these salesmen inadvertently kicked over a table
which held a display of apples.
Apples flew everywhere. Without stopping or
looking back, they all managed to reach the plane
in time for their nearly missed boarding.
ALL BUT ONE !!!
He paused, took a deep breath, got in touch with
his feelings, and
experienced a twinge of compassion for the girl
whose apple stand had been overturned. He
told his buddies to go on without him, waved
good-bye, told one of them to call his wife when
they arrived at their home destination and explain
his taking a later flight. Then he returned
to the terminal where the apples were all over the
terminal floor.
He was glad he did.
The 16 year old girl was totally blind!
She was softly crying, tears
running down her cheeks in frustration, and at the
same time helplessly
groping for her spilled produce as the crowd
swirled about her, no one stopping and no one to
care for her plight.
The salesman knelt on the floor with her, gathered
up the apples, put them back on the table and
helped organize her display. As he did this,
he noticed that many of them had become battered
and bruised; these he set aside in another basket.
When he had finished, he pulled out his wallet and
said to the girl,
"Here, please take this $40 for the damage we
did. Are you okay?" She
nodded through her tears. He continued on
with, "I hope we
didn't spoil your day too badly."
As the salesman started to walk away, the
bewildered blind girl called out to him,
"Mister." He paused and turned to
look back into those blind eyes. She
continued, "Are you Jesus?"
He stopped in mid-stride, and he wondered.
Then slowly he made his way to catch the later
flight with that question burning and bouncing
about in his soul: "Are you Jesus?"
Do people mistake you for Jesus?
That's our destiny, is it not? To be
so much like Jesus that people cannot tell the
difference as we live and interact with a world
that is blind to His love, life and grace.
If we claim to know Him, we should live, walk and
act as He would.
Knowing Him is more than simply quoting Scripture
and going to
church. It's actually living the Word as
life unfolds day to day.
You are the apple of His eye even though we, too,
have been bruised by a fall. He stopped what
He was doing and picked you and me up on a hill
called Calvary and paid in full for our damaged
fruit.
Let us
live like we are worth the price He paid!!!!!
God
will Love Ya for helping
Spread
His Word!
