Jack
October 28, 2017
Jack came to the US from India 16 years ago.
"Did you have a career or occupation?"
"I used to be a taxi driver."
"What happened?"
Then in a voice full of remorse, "I got a DUI."
I don't remember what I said after that. I probably said something really dumb and awkward just to break the silence. I wish I could have said,
"But where sin increased, grace increased all the more"
-Romans 5:20
and
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus..."
-Romans 8:1
Jack gently then placed his hand on my shoulder and wished me a good day.
Hopefully, I'll get the chance to talk to him again, share these verses, and say something less awkward, but more hopeful. Until then, I'll be praying for him.
