I have found what breaks my heart.
For a while now, God has been making me notice these random people everywhere I go!! People who you wouldn’t usually talk to. So I’ve been realizing that the Lord has been breaking my heart and drawing me to love the people who never get loved. Last month in Vietnam it were the drug addicts. Today it was a man sniffing glue on the side of the road.
I was walking down the street going to the beach and I saw this guy yelling and making a scene a little further ahead. I got closer and noticed that he was mentally challenged and had something in his hand. Now the normal person would run…and FAST, but I am not a normal person. I go up to him, say hi, shake his hand. I asked his name and he said something which I honestly can’t remember, but the last part ended in oooooooooooo which is the only part that stuck in my head because it was funny to me that he kept going. I then looked in his hand and saw that he had a tin of glue. He had glue all over his hands, nose and mouth. He was high as a kite. All I wanted to do was cry and hold him in my arms.
What really got me upset were all the people around who were laughing at him and thinking that he was the scum of the earth. That’s not fair!! Just because he made a few wrong decisions in his life and sniffed too much glue to make him challenged doesn’t mean he is any less of a person that they were. He didn’t know tons on English so I honestly couldn’t preach the Gospel to him or tell him that what he was doing was horrible for him, so the only thing I could do was pray, and pray I did!!! I also snuck the glue tin out of his hand and put it in my back pocket to throw away heheheee.
So this was just a little insight into my heart and what I’m learning today. I also encourage you all to go and seek out the people who no one seeks out. Talk to the homeless people who hundreds of people walk past everyday. Talk to them!! They are human beings and the Lord loves both of you EQUALLY!!! No more, no less!! Talk to them, show them love and tell them that God loves them even more!!! Jesus hung out with the worst of the worst, the prostitutes, tax collectors, because He knew that they were no more of a sinner than the pastor down the street.
Be love 🙂
