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 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 Bible 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 Brother Jones.
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
and fixing me a special lunch.
For just a minute he looked like my mom.
But it was Jesus,
I could feel the love from his heart.

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.

Lord Jesus, as I enter this work place, I bring your presence with me. I speak your peace, your grace and your perfect order into the atmosphere of this office. I acknowledge your Lordship over all that will be spoken, thought, decided, and accomplished within these walls.

Lord Jesus, I thank you for the gifts you have deposited in me. I do not take them lightly, but commit to using them responsibly and well. Give me a fresh supply of truth and beauty on my ideas, and my energy so that even my smallest task may bring you honor. Lord, when I am confused, guide me. When I am weary, energize me. Lord, when I am burned out, infuse me with the light of your Holy Spirit. May the work I do and the way that I do it bring hope, life and courage to all that I come in contact with today.

And, oh Lord, even in the day’s most stressful moments…may I rest in you. In the strong and powerful name of your Son Jesus Christ, I pray

Amen…………………

My friend, I stand in Judgment now
And feel that You’re to blame somehow.

While on this earth I walked You day by day,
And never did you point the way.

YOU knew the Lord in truth and Glory,
But, never did you ever tell the story,
MY knowledge then was very dim,
You could led me safe to him.

Though we lived-together here on earth,
you never told me of your second birth,
And now I stand this day condemned,
Because you failed to mention Him.
You taught me many things, that’s true,
I called you Friend and trusted you.
But I learned, now that it’s too late,
You could have kept me from this fate.
We walked by day ;and talked by night,
And yet you showed me not the light.
And you let me live, love and die,
And all the while you know I’d never live on high,
Yes, I called you friend in life,
And trusted you in Joy and strife.
And yet in coming to this end,
I see you really weren’t my friend.
