The Jesus I Should Be
I heard some terrible news today. A girl in my s.school class passed away this morning. She left behind dear friends, a boyfriend, and a small baby girl. What is even more terrible is that I was not one of those dear friends.
I have been thinking about this all day. I am saddened and humbled. I should have been a friend to her.
She came to our s.school class often. She would sit in the same spot each time. Sometimes she would bring her boyfriend. I knew her alittle. I should have known her alot more. What is depressing is that she needed me to be her Jesus. I was not. Yes, I was one of a few who would talk to her because she was special and different. But so was Jesus... he was shunned because he was different. He was an outcast because He was "special".
But I didnt make a difference in her life and I rarely showed her love. You know, we can say we love Jesus, we can say we want to be like Him,... but really!? I hate this. I hate it that something this tragic and terrible had to happen to wake me up spiritually. Lord, please, I dont want to fail you again like this. Dont let me be the Pharisee or Levite and pass someone by.... Let me BE You to others today.
