Working the Crowd

“Why lots Davie! When Jesus chose us, He knew what we could do. Our gifts all came from God and Jesus knew what they were! I loved what I was honored and chosen to do – Bring people to Jesus! There’s nothing dearer to my heart than that…I loved the people, especially those who followed after Him.”

“Do you remember the little boy who gave me his lunch to give to Jesus – We fed 5000 people! Jesus cared for their physical hunger as well as their spiritual hunger. God was there in Jesus to meet all of their needs, through Him!

In that day, people saw God and His Son in action together, and I was a part of it! I got to share in that, and in a way, it’s written more in my heart than in ‘The Book.’ Peter saw the little girl raised from the dead and returned to her parents – God and Jesus were in that together too”!

Now he knew he belonged to this “Family” too!

In a quiet confidence, this knowledge entered his heart, an eternal seed of truth that would grow with him on the Earth, and would again bring him Home. The very thought that man’s knowledge was above God’s, was forever erased from his heart and mind!

Now, as Jesus appeared to return him to his Heavenly Father, Davie said, “Jesus, I did the ‘Pent Thing,’ will you tell Our Father, ’cause I’m really sleepy.”

As Davie slept, his earthly father could not…
