Give them more than a chance.

February 22, 2012

“Again, crowds of people came to him, and as was his custom, he taught them.

Mark 10 : 1

Countless times Jesus is caught in the flood of people who desire to see him and witness him in action. I can’t help but think of the paparazzi waiting for hours just to snap a picture.

Unlike the actors, Jesus doesn’t try to make a break for it or lose it on these people. He whole heartedly desires to be with them.

What are my customs when I am met by new people? I try to always be nice and polite, but there are times when I am so quick to judge.

There is a guy who I work with who loves to swear. I don’t put any effort in getting to know him because I THINK that I know what he’s about and can’t be bothered.

Father, shame on me. I really enjoy people and getting to know them but if they are closed and rude, I don’t give them a chance. I won’t even say hi.

I pray that you will help me to stay at the table. The truth is that you died for this guy at work and he is worth my time.

Amen.
