A forward received today that will be a blessing to all:
 
I Saw Jesus

I saw Jesus last week.
He was wearing blue jeans and an old shirt.
He was up at the church building.
He was alone and working hard.
For just a minute he looked a little like one of our church members.
But it was Jesus.
I could tell by his smile.

I saw Jesus last Sunday.
He was teaching a Bible class.
He didn't talk real loud or use long words.
But you could tell he believed what he said.
For just a minute, he looked like my Sunday school teacher.
But it was Jesus.
I could tell by his loving voice.

I saw Jesus yesterday.
He was at the hospital visiting a friend who was sick.
They prayed together quietly.
For just a minute he looked like our pastor.
But it was Jesus.
I could tell by the tears in his eyes.

I saw Jesus this morning.
He was in my kitchen making my breakfast.
He then fixed me a special lunch to take with me.
For just a minute he looked like my mom.
But it was Jesus.
I could feel the love from his heart.

I saw Jesus! today.
He was praying on his knees all alone.
He then began to cry for those he prayed for.
For just a minute he looked like a lady from our church.
But it was Jesus.
I could see the compassion poured out of his prayer.

I saw Jesus the other day.
He was at the grocery store talking to a friend.
He then put his arms around her to comfort her.
For just a minute he looked like a young mother in our ladies' class.
But it was Jesus.
I could see the concern he had for others who hurt.

I see Jesus everywhere.
Taking food to the sick,
Welcoming others to his home,
Being friendly to a newcomer
And for just a minute,
I think he's someone I know.
But it's always Jesus.
I can tell by the way he serves.

May someone see Jesus in you today.
