Jesus stops for the one.
What does the heart of the Father look like? I believe the boys at Alverta Bolick have showed me that Jesus always stops for the one. The gospel is as simple as loving those that God puts in your path.
I remember a song growing up that said, “can you tell me why should I believe a word you say, when the God that look like won’t take a step my way.” The world would see the guys at this home and say that they don’t have many boundaries, but I believe Jesus sees their heart and He created them that way to bring love to those many of us would just walk by.
The other night we were eating at a restaurant and Rob got up to talk to a little blind girl who was sitting with her grandmother. At that moment I looked at the girl smiling and Rob’s amazing ability to bring life and love and I saw the face of Jesus. When you read the gospels it says that Jesus only did what His father was doing, and He always stopped for the one. Love has no boundaries, it sees no race, social status, or handicaps…God is love, and the love of God in Rob that day touched the heart of this little blind girl.
