I'll be honest, I was in a hurry. It was a matter of hours and I was to leave for Venezuela. I had an evening speaking engagement in Mexico to brush up on and had to get down to a market and buy some U.S.A. magazines to take to the missionaries working in the jungles of Venezuela, then I had to pack. Hurry time!
Time was short and like I said I needed to brush up on my message. I was speaking that night on love.
I drove quickly to the market rushed in and bought some tortillas and magazines to take with me to Venezuela.
Rushing out of the store with my package, I headed up the parking lot toward my car.
I was interrupted by a short older man standing there on a walker.
He smiled and quietly asked me if I was going his direction and he pointed sort of East, "would I give him a lift to his house just a few short blocks away". He said he was a little tired. (I had a flashing thought he may need the exercise.)
Well, I was in a hurry. I had my message on love to prepare for and if I was going any direction, it was West.
So I gently told him that I would be glad to BUT I was in a hurry and that, in fact, I was not going his direction and ... otherwise I would be glad to ... he smiled and interrupted me, saying "It’s no problem, if I go slow I can make it ..."
About that time God slapped me on the side of my head! "What are you doing, von?" "Can your message on "love" be more important than demonstrating it?"
Then I realized the fool I was ... Mister, "I'll be glad to take you, no problem!"
Now he replied ..." No, I know your busy, I can make it or someone else may give me a lift..."
"Nope! I'm taking you home . ! " He smiled and we walked, slowly to my car. Real slow.
I slid opened my Volkswagen van, side door and seated him placing his walker next to him and we drove off.
Sure enough, in just three blocks, he pointed out where he was staying.
I pulled into the driveway, and slowly helped him out and placed him on his walker.
He paused, looked up at me, and gave me a big smile saying thank you ... then he winked at me.
Winked at me!
It was his eyes and that wink that gave His Divine disguise away.
I actually feel I've met Jesus Incognito ... and almost missed him in my hurry to minister.
