Filling Station

The filling Station.
Where is it for you?  
A church...
The Bible...
on your knees...
The secret place...
all of the above?
So many of those reading this know exactly what I am talking about.  TOO many others are clueless about it!
To them, the "filling station" may be
another bed...
a pack of cigarettes...
a bottle...
a joint...
a gram...
a dime bag...
However, Jesus loves them just as much as He loves us.  In fact, when He looks at "all of us," He sees "them" with the same love, compassion, mercy, grace and hope as He does for "us."
Perhaps if "we" looked at "them" the same way Jesus does, someday we may be together at the same Filling Station.
Perhaps if I stopped pointing my finger and opened up my whole hand?
Or maybe if I gave him a meal instead of trying to give him advice?
It might be as simple as talking WITH them, instead of talking AT or ABOUT them?
How can Love be that simple??
