A Man in Need

There was a man who drank a lot to numb his pain. The drinking problem became so bad, but he refused treatment or AA group to help address the issue. He sank deeper into drugs, cocaine, marijuana. He even spent his rent money on drugs to satisfy the deep hole in his life. Eventually, he became a homeless man sleeping under a bridge.

He lost a son. Since the death of his son, his wife divorced him; he was laid off. He lost his house, lost his direction in life. His health is declining. He is looking for a place to stay, to have a warm shower, a breakfast; maybe a group home or half-way house would do for him.

What would Jesus do? How will the church help this man to get back on his feet? God is searching for him to show him love. God is needing your help! Did you see this man on the streets of life? Will you stop long enough to hear his story. Maybe God can use you to do something about it.
