How many times do we come in contact with people who have needs? Do we think of it as opportunity to be like Jesus?

Proverbs 3:28 (nlt) If you can help your neighbor now, don't say come back tomorrow and then I can help you.

In John 18, a blind man heard Jesus walk by and cried out, "Jesus, have mercy on me." Jesus healed the man of his sight. When we come in contact with people who are sad, broken, lonely, or lost, we have a chance to share the love of Christ, to make a difference. How often do we join "the crowd" in mocking the "different" people?

They have a need, we can help. Next time we see a person in tough times, let's stop and share Jesus with them. It could be a prayer, could be our friendship, could just be acknowledgment. Just like Jesus healing the blind man, people will be changed for-ever.
