"We are Hungry" 3-16-07

Good morning, Lord Jesus. As I am silent before You, You slay my pride and quiet my spirit so I can listen for the leading of Your voice instead of my own. ... "Then Jesus told His disciples, 'If any want to become My followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow Me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for My sake will find it" (Matthew 16:24-25). I was honored and humbled to meet one of Your saints yesterday who left everything to follow You. Anathi Jebasingh was a university professor in Delhi who opened her door one day to a little boy from the slum begging for food. Others, of course, soon followed, saying, "We are hungry." But You spoke to her heart to give them the bread of life. Soon she found herself teaching them how to read and write, to know Your Word and to know Your love. You led her to start a school in heart of the slum, where thousands upon thousands are now clothed and fed -- clothed in Christ and fed in Truth, shining as rays of hope in the midst of the darkness (Galatians 3:27). Lord, give me courage to hear Your voice and obey Your will in the ways You lead. Help me see You in the face of those who are hungry, and give them something to eat, see You in the face of those who are naked, and give them something to wear (Matthew 25:31-40). Let me be willing to deny the comforts You call me to sacrifice to follow You and touch the lives You want to touch through mine. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today!
