TAKE TIME TO CARE!
Matthew 25:40
"Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these
brothers and sisters of Mine, you did for Me" 

One of our faithful readers, who is also a member of our church, sent me
an e-mail relating an experience one of her co-workers just shared with
her. She works in a judicial court system and has been used of God many
times to reach the people that the traditional church programs miss. She
has permitted me to share it with you:

My coworker has worked here for well over 20 years now and currently
works as our probation officer. A couple weeks ago she was working with a
young man in his early 20s. This man has been a regular in our criminal
court since his early teens. He has spent most of his life on drugs and
hiding from law enforcement. The probation officer has known him since he
was a young child. 

Recently the young man spent several months in a drug rehab in-patient
facility. While there, his mother and sisters were arrested and the only
home he has ever known was seized as a meth house. He told the probation
officer in one of their meetings that she was the only human being in his
entire life that has ever shown him love and compassion. 

This young man told her that when he was a little boy he came to the
police department with a cut knee. My friend, the probation officer was on
duty. She looked at the knee and said it looked pretty bad and needed some
care. She took him to the restroom, washed it out, put some medication on
it, and bandaged it up for him. She then told the boy to come back in a few
days so she could check it for him. He said he remembers telling his mom
about his knee and she never even looked at it. 

He remembers everything about this incident in detail even though it took
place at least 10 years ago. The probation officer could barely even
remember doing this- it was nothing out of the ordinary for her day. Ten
years ago, when she took the time to look at a cut on a young boy's knee,
she had no idea that it would turn out to be the single most important
event of his life.thus far!! Sometimes, as you illustrated in the Daily
E-Votional, it is the simplest acts that have the biggest impact.

Blessings dear hearts. Walk with God today. Trust Him completely and be a
blessing!
