I SAW JESUS
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 Sunday School 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 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 saw Jesus today.
He was praying on his knees all alone.
He then began to cry for those he prayed for.
For just a minute he looked like a lady from our church.
But it was Jesus I could hear the compassion in his prayer.

I saw Jesus the other day.
He was at the grocery store talking to a friend.
He then put his arms around her to comfort her.
For just a minute he looked like a young mother in our ladies class.
But it was Jesus I could see his concern for others who hurt.

I saw Jesus everywhere.
Taking food to the sick,
Welcoming others to his home,
Being friendly to a newcomer.
And for just a minute I think he's someone I know.
But it's always Jesus I can tell by the way he serves.

May someone see Jesus in you today.

"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me" (Gal. 2:20, NKJV).
