My Hero.

He told us some things, thousands of years ago, that would help us identify Him.

"The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;  

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;  

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified."

I was out with my buddy. He was knocking on doors, I came along shotgun with my camera, looking to make conversation & grab photos for a collage. Our real purpose? To feel out the community & see what their felt needs were. (Thanks to Gomez for his ingenuity).

We sat with "Dave" for the better part of an hour. He, making conversation, us, trying to loosen him up. 

We told him we were Christians. He said it was a shame. 

But both my friend & I can't shake the feeling that he was seeking for something...

And as I reflect on the above verses, I am deeply humbled by the methods of my Savior. He dropped everything. And ministered to people in a way that worked. They knew His was no funny business.

They knew He cared. 

I like that. There's a few million "Dave's" out there waiting for ambassador's that use the methods of their Master. 

Can you imagine being chosen as the vessel that get's to reach them?
