People Miss Me Because They See Jesus In Me

     I hate missing work, (AMC Star Theaters) because I love people, serving them.  People miss me the

days I don't work.  People miss me because they see Jesus in me.  One day at work a lady fell in one of the

theaters, and we didn't have any wheelchairs because some people stole ours.  I told managers, "We need

wheelchairs because we can't fully serve those people who have trouble walking without them.  If we don't

provide this service, they'd just go to other theaters."  After she fell, a manager came in the hall where I was

sitting and casually said, "Yeah, a lady fell in a theater."  I immediately said, "Here take my wheelchair."  He

surprisingly asked, What about you baby?"  I responded, "I'll be okay, God gave me the ability to walk and

the heart to give away when there's a need."  He responded, "Oh bless your your heart Shakira."  I've

extended my wheelchair many other times.  People miss me because they see Jesus in me.  I think of other

people before myself.  I extend characteristics of Jesus Christ to people with gentle smiles on my face

everyday.  Some people ask me, "Why do I smile all the time?"  I simply say, "Because God hasn't given me

a reason to frown."

     I treat people the way I want to be treated.  People miss me because they see Jesus in me.  A lady came

over to the side of the theater I was working on and said, "I just had to come over here and meet you
 
because you have a glow radiating from you."  I perceive that GLOW to be, (God's Labor Of Wisdom))

After I extended my wheelchair, many people crowded around me.  I felt like Jesus Christ because of

people's admiration.  I'm alive for one sole purpose: to imitate Jesus Christ.  I'm fulfilling that purpose

because he is who people see.

                                     Philippians 4: 8-9

     Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is
  
lovely whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think of such things.  Whatever you

have received or heard from me, or seen in me- put it into practice.  And the God of peace will be with you.
