Losers: Unnoticed People

One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day– to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John…

Acts 3:1-4 (NIV)

Imagine your life as a lame beggar. You’re placed each day at a beautiful gate– hoping that an occasional person might drop a coin in a bowl at your feet. But almost no one looks you in the eye. (You’re an unnoticed, valueless loser.)

Jesus disagrees! Unnoticed people are precious to God, and He watches to see how we treat them. 

Remember the rich man and Lazarus, a beggar at the rich man’s lovely gates. When Lazarus died, he went to Heaven. When the rich man died, he went to hellfire. 

Why? We can’t know the various reasons, but we DO know he ignored the beggar. He refused even to feed him his crumbs.*

Actors, models, and talent for Christ:

When you look at pictures of eager fans, (far too excited by celebrities, far too willing to follow where they lead)… individually, they’re unnoticed. Tragically, they’re largely misled.

If I said “like sheep, headed to slaughter,” I’d sound dramatically depressing. But considering their loss of innocence, and the effects of being unnoticed (aside from the merchandizing of them)... maybe not so much!

YOU DO NOTICE FANS as people God loves, as priceless, cherished individuals, as people to tend, feed, and lead to Him. Therein, your calling to rise is crucial.

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
