While driving home from class this afternoon, I passed a man walking on the side of the street, when I saw him bend down. As I looked back I saw that he had bent down at an alcohol bottle, and was taking a swig to see if any was inside. Without any luck, he slammed the bottle down and kept walking. It was one of the most heart breaking moments I have experienced. Knowing that this man had more hope in an alcohol bottle than in anything else. Something to ease a little pain or take his mind off of his troubles. Something to give him an token of happiness for a short time. I hope there is a moment in his life where someone shares with him the one hope of the world.
Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
