I really believe that if we receive this pure heart of Jesus and we have the heart of the Father beating in us, then we will start to see the One. We will start to see “the One” in front of us. They may be a child under a bridge, they may be wealthy, but they will be the one you see, they will be the one you can touch, they will be the one God put in front of you. That’s the Gospel. “Stop for the One, Love the One”.

God didn’t tell you to start a home for a thousand children. Maybe he didn’t tell you to do that, like He told me, to just be crazy and take them all in. Maybe he didn’t tell you to do that. But He did tell you to stop for one person. And if you can allow it to be that focused, if you can say ‘Okay, I don’t have to win the world, I don’t have to be a mighty evangelist, I don’t have to have a huge crusade in a stadium, but I do, I do, I am obligated, I am called, I am compelled to see, I will not be blind anymore.’

The Church has been blind! Blind! Just walking by the dying man, waiting for somebody else to stop, thinking somebody else has to do it, and Jesus is saying ‘No. I want you. I want you to love. Just you. Just you. Just you. I want just you to stop for just one’. And you’re not overwhelmed anymore, because God didn’t tell you to stop for 10,000, He told you to stop for just one. One. And that one will stop for another one.

If you say you love God, then you will love the person in front of you. You will love your neighbor. That’s the Gospel. That’s the beauty of it. It’s that simple. That simple.
