These past few days we have been going to a daycare center and playing with kids. There are probably 30 kids there a day with four helpers. On Thursday, we got there right at the time of breakfast and they were eating porridge. There were some kids that were too young to feed themselves or weren't eating for some reason. There was this one cute llittle girl who wasn't touching her food. I went over there and started feeding her.
At first I just started to go through the motions and feeding her. I was getting bored at doing this, but after a few bites something stopped me. I realized that my heart was not in what I was doing. I had to stop and ask myself "What would Jesus do in this situation?"
I came to the conclusion that He would give all of His attention to this little girl regardless of how long it would take to feed her. That was what I decided to do. I fed her and prayed for her and gave her my attention and my heart.
After feeding her, I picked her up and we went and sat down together. She didnt question who was holding her or who was feeding her. She just wanted to care for her. For those 20 minutes she was the only person on my heart. She had me. She had Jesus.
As I was sitting with this little girl, I looked out at the rest of the kids. I saw a beautiful picture. I saw Mozambiquen and American women caring for these children. The two all girl teams were the ones chosen to be at this daycare for these weeks. I don't believe that is a coincidence
This was what women were created to be. Lifegivers and caregivers. It is no coincidence that all of these women wanted to find the babies there and hold them and care for them and love on them. It is no coincidence that God placed two women's teams at this facility. This is what we were made for.
God showed me personally how I could be Jesus to this little girl and how a group of women can be Jesus to an entire daycare.
How does God want you to be Jesus today?
