As you read this think about what you would do![/align]This is really powerful and makes one think!!!![/align][/align][/align]A few years ago a group of salesmen went to a regional sales convention[/align]in Chicago. They had assured their wives that they would be home in[/align]plenty of time for Friday night's dinner In their rush, with tickets[/align]and briefcases, one of these salesmen inadvertently kicked over a table[/align]which held a display of apples. [/align]Apples flew everywhere. Without stopping or looking back, they all[/align]managed to reach the plane in time for their nearly missed boarding.[/align][/align]ALL BUT ONE !!! He paused, took a deep breath, got in touch with his[/align]feelings, and experienced a twinge of compassion for the girl whose[/align]apple stand had been overturned.[/align][/align]He told his buddies to go on without him, waved good-bye, told one of[/align]them to call his wife when they arrived at their home destination and[/align]explain his taking a later flight. Then he returned to the terminal[/align]where the apples were all over the terminal floor.[/align][/align]He was glad he did.[/align][/align]The 16 year old girl was totally blind! She was softly crying, tears[/align]running down her cheeks in frustration, and at the same time helplessly[/align]groping for her spilled produce as the crowd swirled about her, no one[/align]stopping and no one to care for her plight.[/align][/align]The salesman knelt on the floor with her, gathered up the apples, put[/align]them back on the table and helped organize her display. As he did this,[/align]he noticed that many of them had become battered and bruised; these he[/align]set aside in another basket.[/align][/align]When he had finished, he pulled out his wallet and said to the girl,[/align]"Here, please take this $40 for the damage we did. Are you okay?"[/align]She nodded through her tears. He continued on with, "I hope we didn't[/align]spoil your day too badly."[/align][/align]As the salesman started to walk away, the bewildered blind girl called[/align]out to him, "Mister...." He paused and turned to look back into those[/align]blind eyes. She continued, "Are you Jesus?"[/align][/align]He stopped in mid-stride, and he wondered. Then slowly he made his way[/align]to catch the later flight with that question burning and bouncing about[/align]in his soul: "Are you Jesus?" Do people mistake you for Jesus? That's[/align]our Destiny, is it not? To be so much like Jesus that people cannot tell[/align]the difference as we live and interact with a world that is blind to His[/align]love, life and grace.[/align][/align]If we claim to know Him, we should live, walk and act as He would. [/align]Knowing Him is more than simply quoting Scripture and going to church.[/align]It's actually living the Word as life unfolds day to day.[/align][/align]You are the apple of His eye even though we, too, have been bruised by a[/align]fall He stopped what He was doing and picked you and me up on a hill[/align]called Calvary and paid in full for our damaged fruit.[/align][/align]Please share this... Sometimes we just take things for granted, when we[/align]really need to be sharing what we know...Thanks[/align][/align]GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY .[/align][/align]Too many Christians are no longer fishers of men but keepers of the[/align]aquarium.[/align][/align]
