The man sitting on hot cement.
He's just outside the door you walked through.
He's there holding a sign.
Haven't you noticed him?
His sign says he's homeless and hungry.
Do you see him sitting there alone with his head hung low?
I see him.
I wonder...is he a father, a brother, a son, a husband...
Do you see him?
What?
You haven't noticed him?
He's there.
He's right there.
Do you not see your brother?
How can you walk right by without noticing him sitting there?
Can't you hear his silent pleas for help?
He's there.
Look, intentionally look, and you will see him.
Lord, I pray that you open our eyes.
Help us to see things the way you see them.
Lord, soften our hearts and put in us a new spirit.
Help us live our lives the way Christ Jesus
lived his while he graced this earth.
Help us to live our lives in a way that glorifies you Lord!
