Friday morning, as I was driving into work, I was stopped at a red light waiting for the light to turn green so I could get into the office and start my day. As I shivered in the cold and looked in my side mirror, I noticed a man sitting in some sort of work truck behind me. As I looked into his eyes through the mirror, I was able for a brief moment, to feel the burdens of this man's heart. His eyes appeared empty, as if he were just floating through the motions of his normal day to day routine. He looked to be weathered, aged beyond is years, and my heart broke for him.
Now I'll probably never see that man again, but God used that brief, unexpected moment to speak to me. He softened my heart and whispered to me, "this is why you are here." Near tears, I knew that God has me here for a purpose, a purpose to reach out to lost people, to bring hope to the hopeless, and to share His love with the unloved.
