Being Jesus

My wife Judy wrote this:

As Jim and I were praying for “June”, she begin to cry and her tears fell on my feet.  “Wow, this happened to Jesus“, I thought.  “I get to do something Jesus did.”  It was precious. 

A few months ago June had cried on my chest for a long time while I prayed with her.  The next day one of our co-workers showed us a picture she kept in her Bible of Jesus holding a crying woman on his chest.  June looked at me and said, "That's you, Mom, you are like Jesus."  I then remembered that being like Jesus isn't just about being perfect or having his character, but it's about doing stuff He does.  It is so simple but at that time it really hit me between the eyes.

There is nothing better than doing what Jesus did, and the stuff He still does through us.  I am so inadequate working at The Well.  I can't understand policemen, social workers, co-workers and nurses.  I can't say things I need to say in order to properly take care of people who NEED proper care.  I get impatient, I stress, forget important details and I can never find my READING glasses.

But I had teardrops falling on my feet.

Thanks for sharing. I can relate. I have been cried on. I have been loved like a father. And I have experienced the scorn of modern Pharisees because of it. I am happy to experience what Jesus experienced.
