Allow others to see Jesus through you

At a very old age, St. Francis of Assisi was blind and in poor health. During the same time a nearby village was in an uproar about their priest and had called for St. Francis to help them. You see, the priest of this village was living in sin. He had a woman living with him in the rectory and the people of the village were absolutely furious about it.

St. Francis hobbled into the village, came up to the door of the rectory, and when the priest opened it... St. Francis looked at him through blind eyes, fell to his knees, grabbed the hands of the priest and said... "All I want to know is that these hands bring me Jesus."

The priest was instantly converted on the spot and from that point on he turned his life around.

St. Francis could have easily condemned, disheartened, discouraged, or warned the priest of his sinful ways. Instead, St. Francis humbled himself and through his actions, showed the priest Jesus.

Take from this story what you will... but one thing to remember is that all of us should be a light for others. Each day find one person who can see Jesus through you.

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Matthew 7:2

God bless you. And this is for His Glory!
