"...Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto  one of the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto  Me." - Matthew 25:40

It happened quite often.

When I was a teenager, my sister would knock quietly at my bedroom door and enter with a note in her hand.

I was about sixteen and my sister three years younger.  Seldom was I without a girlfriend and my sister was just  arriving at the age when she became interested in guys.

This was the subject of her notes.

She would enter quietly into my room, hand me a note and quickly leave before I read it.  Or, sometimes I would  come home from a date and find one of her notes on my  bed.  They all had the same question printed neatly  inside...

..."do you know anyone who likes me?"

You see, my sister was at the point that she liked guys, but, because she was shy, she wasn't confident enough to  express her feelings to anyone.  And so, she, in her shy  way, wanted to know if I knew of any guys who liked her.

Every time she entered with a note or I found one lying  on my bed, I knew what she wanted.  She just wanted to  know if there was anyone out there who cared about her.   She wanted to know if I knew of anyone who was  interested in her, anyone who thought she was special.

My first response was, "I care."  And, then, I would tell her about someone I knew who had expressed an interest  in her.

My friend, there are folks all over the world this morning  who have notes written on their faces.  They have notes  seen in their actions and in the words that they speak.   Yes, my friend, they are crying out to you and I and are  pleading with us to answer that burning question in their  hearts...

..."do you know anyone who likes me?"

They just want to know if there is anyone out there who  cares about them.  They long to find out if anyone is  interested in them, if anyone thinks they are special.   Listen closely, dear Christian, because there are many in  your pathway who are bearing notes for you to answer.

Are you going to respond, "I care."  And, then, are you  going to tell them about someone you know who has  expressed an interest in them?

Are you going to tell them about Jesus?

You see, there are many in our pathways, Christian,  who are like my sister.  They are lonely.  They need to feel  loved and important.  And, it's up to you and I to tell them  how special they really are.  

The teenage prostitute.  The drug addict who has  contracted AIDS.  The dirty, smelly man down the street.   The obnoxious co-worker.  The young, unmarried mother.   The runny nosed, dirty-faced neighborhood kids.

They all have a note, and they're handing it to you...

..."do you know anyone who likes me?"

Well, do you Christian?

Have a "Wonderful DAY in Christ,"
