Whose Face Did I See?

Poppa, remind me of the words I spoke today... of my deeds to others today... what expressions I gave out to others today. Did I in ignorance, oblivion, or selfishness say words that inflicted pain possibly wounding someone's heart? Did I do something in innocence, ignorance, or selfishness that was recieved, misinterpreted or understoond totally opposite from what I meant? Poppa, did I look at someone today with an expression that conveyed anything other than what they would have seen on Your face?

Jesus, how often do I unknowingly, or uncaringly say and do things that lead others in a wrong direction... a direction that turns out to be a dead
end for them? How often have my words, my deeds, my expressions led someone so swiftly, so surely crashing into a wall and then I leave them there bruised, bloody and broken, in pain? Yet I choose to look the other way and pretend that I don't see... that I had no idea.... remaining convinced that I was in no way at fault?

Innocence is lost, a heart is broken, a spirit crushed, a wound is left open hurting, bleeding.... all because either I did not consider my words, my actions.... or I am blind.... totally blind and do not see the face of Jesus every time I look at another. God, remove my blindness. I want to see YOUR face in everyone I look at.

Matt. 25:45 ".... Solemnly I declare to you, in so far as you failed to do it for the least of these, you failed to do it for Me."
