I saw Jesus this morning

I saw Jesus Today

I saw Jesus this morning…  in shredded clothes, shivering, begging and all he wanted was just to eat!

I saw Jesus this morning, on the street…  under the scotching sun. He had no shelter on His head.

I saw Jesus today
In my neighbor’s house… 
Frail… sickly…  He  has no money for hospital.

I saw Jesus today
In the church… 
He could not pay his school fees.
I saw Jesus today
Yet still at the church
He has nothing to feed His children as He walked home , head bow and dejected.

I saw Him…  I always see Him .
Oh yes, I saw him, yet again in my child’s school, with a torn uniform and a worn out sandals! 
I saw Him, I always see Him.

But a number of times, I see him, but I did not know Him.
Yet oftentimes I see Him, I did not discern Him.
Many atimes, I encountered Him, but I did not have an encounter with Him.

Lord can you have mercy on me?
