simplicity

I have become a familiar face here in South Beach by now. Its a small place and I see many of the same faces day to day. I have good relationships with those familiar faces but I am longing to get past the familiar and get to the heart of people. The heart seems buried by hurt, loss, and bitterness. Its strange sometimes I see myself in them. I want to be more than the “nice christian guy I work with”. I want them to realize why I am here and what is important to me, and why it should be important to them. That conversation is far past “hey, what’s up”. I know that I need to be patient but I am restless instead. We must find a way to get to the heart because that is where Jesus can change lives.
