Day 123 – He DOES Exist…

The team headed to CCA for service this morning and we were surprised to find that the church had a special recognition ceremony for us during the morning service!  The pastor called everyone who worked on the construction project up on stage along with the two families who received the houses…  A few people were given the opportunity to speak, but it was the words of Oscar (Luz’s husband who just received Christ yesterday) that completely wrecked me…

While fighting back tears, Oscar described how he had lived his entire life by his own will and his own rules and that just last week he was convinced that Jesus didn’t exist.  Then, this week a random group of gringos whom he had never seen before spent six days hauling rocks up a mountain so that he and his family could have a clean, dry place to sleep.  All be because they heard that his family needed some help…

“But today, I know for sure…  He DOES exist…  He DOES exist!”

Often times, we get discouraged in our faith walk because the magnitude of the obstacles in our path are so plentiful.  Today, I am reminded that it’s not about “being Jesus” to the “whole world”, but more so about being the hands and feet of Jesus in “someone’s world”,  one “someone” at a time.
