I saw a mighty warrior strong, determined and unmoved. His armour was soo bright that it blinded my eyes and I had to turn away. In one hand he held a razor sharp sword in the other a massive shield. The enemies around him trembled in fear. He didn't even need to move and they were struck down. I thought to myself "I wish I could be like him"
My friend next to me laughed and told me that the warrior was a fool and an idiot. I was confused as to why he would think that until I looked at his face and realized that my friend was blind.
It confused me too see that as the warrior was fighting hordes of enemies he was also being laughed at and spat on.
I saw him at the corner of yonge and dundas square.
Everyday he stands and shouts "Jesus Loves You" to the masses walking by, while handing out Words of life to them written on paper.
I wanted to help him because I knew that when the King comes back, the warrior is going to rule over me and I wanted to get on his good side.
He is afflicted with a mental illness, but one day he is going to be healed and restored with honour and glory and no one will laugh at him anymore.
Yesterday
I saw a prisoner in a high security prison, body was wrapped in chains so thick that you couldn't see her body, only chains. She was hated by everyone and hated by those around her. The twitches on her body and the slur of her speech told everyone she was a drug addict. Her eyes told me that she was a prostitute that was unashamed. They wanted her dead. She was the most despised thing in all the world.
I saw a person, a creation of God so lost, whose glory so far gone that she does not even realize because she has never seen or even tasted what she was supposed to be. Well she does but the chains cover her eyes, keep her locked down so much that she cannot even cry for help. I also saw the grace of God sustaining His creation by His grace waiting to hear her voice, so that if she even calls out in the smallest bit for help He would come down and smash those chains into pieces.
I looked and saw my friend who sitting beside me
and what I saw scared me because she was the same as that person I saw.
maybe even worse off
