I See Jesus

Below is a short poem I received today. Very poignant.

I SEE JESUS
By Summer Waters age 11

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...
& for just a minute, I think He's someone I know.
But it's always Jesus...
I can tell by the way he serves.
Go be Jesus to someone today! Someone's looking for you!
