Under The Bridge

So today I went downtown along a bunch of other people from the church to feed and minister to people "Under The Bridge" It was an amazing experience that saddened me, filled me with joy broke me, humbled me even more all in a time span of 3 and a half hours. You see over a hundred people on the streets men, women, children.. they are dirty, they smell bad, but they are PEOPLE. I talked with a man named Curtis at great length. Here was a grown man talking to me and as I am telling him my story I can't hold back the tears any longer and I start to cry and then he starts to cry and tell me that he does know Jesus but that he messed up real bad. The conversation continued and I just encouraged him and prayed with him.... After we got done talking he thanked me for being real and that this was what he needed.... God gave me so much courage today because I can tell you that it was through him that I even started that conversation... This experience has only fueled my fire to reach lost people all over the world even more so that they might know Jesus in a true unique relationship. It was also another eye opener to me that it was not that long ago that I was that lost but now I am found.
