I saw Jesus yesterday!
He asked me for a tissue to blow his nose.
But I was too busy to give him one.
Oh, my excuses were many.
But Lord, It was 6:00! I had already worked an 11 hour day! There
were nurses around! One of them could have given Jesus His tissue!
God's answer was immediate: "Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works and glorify your father in Heaven."
(Matt 5:16)
But Lord, I was already an hour late sending out the
Nugget! I just couldn't take the time . . .
"For I desire mercy,
not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings."
(Hosea 6:6, NIV2)
Oh, but Lord, I still had charting I had to do
before I could finally go home! Rob was waiting at home for supper! As
it was, we didn't eat until 6:45!
"For I was hungry and you gave
me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,"
(Matthew 25:42, NIV2)
But I still wasn't done: Lord, I truly
didn't know it was You . . . All I could see was a patient sitting in
the hallway . . . If I had only known . . .
"Truly I tell you,
whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do
for me." (Matthew 25:45, NIV2)
I saw Jesus yesterday, but when He
asked me for a tissue, I turned and walked away.
"And the King
will reply, 'truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of
these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'" (Matthew 25:40,
NIV2)
Think about it!
