Today as I am sitting at work.... a lady, older lady comes in asks for a cup of coffee, I tell her sure. But you see she wasnt just any lady, she was alone, broken and I am sure scared. She pushed a shopping cart here, she had duck tape on her face and looks as if she had trail marks on her arms, along with a rubber band. This is a sign of heroin use. So she took her cup of coffee and stood outside to drink it. I had to go out to see if there was something I could do. However she did not want to talk and walked away. (I think this is normal, she is hurt, alone and I am sure very scared) As she was walking away I look back and she is now at the end of the driveway and I realize she doesnt even have any shoes. Gosh I wanted to give her my tennis shoes sooo bad but then I feared what my boss would say when he comes back and I am working in socks. I am praying that she comes back by for coffee tomorrow...cause I am bringing some extra tennis shoes and they belong to her. My heart is just broken and I am sitting at work in tears, almost uncontainable. Please pray for lady without shoes. Becuase having no shoes is just the least of her problems. This is someone who God created, he placed every hair on her head decided the color of her eyes and she is lost. She needs to be loved, our God wants us to give her his love.
This story came to my head so I looked it up and had to add it.
Matthew 34-41
“Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 ‘For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 38 ‘And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 39 ‘When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 “The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’
