In the middle of the packing-mess, Joy(Pat) came over with some food from the market. She told me:
"You know Ajarn, yesterday there was another lady who wanted to follow Jesus." Joy was visiting one of our friends at the Mental Hospital. Another patient was disturbing so Joy asked if she could pray for her. Of course! And it ended up or I think we should say it all started with Jesus!
I have been listening to Joy during a couple of months, she's been studying some churches in the city to see if she could find a church who would welcome, show some humanity and ordinary human respect for those who are little special or odd, poor or having a low IQ. She shares her experience with me after she takes some of her now special sheep there, and it is as if this is what Jesus sees when He visits our churches. I wonder if they would let Jesus in or welcome Him if He would come in their being or form. And actually He does come in their being doesn't He!!
Joy can't help but share life with those who are at the bottom in the eyes of the society.
The last thing she said as she was leaving: "Jesus said I wasn't to worry about these sheep, because He is with them." Yeah!!
Mission in Thailand can be so beautiful, if you look at it through the eyes of Jesus.
