I want to be like that

"Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd."

Matthew 9:35-36

Sometimes I like being in crowds, but I quickly get tired of them and just want to escape to be by myself. Jesus must have always had crowds around him, but he looked at the people and had compassion on them. He knew of their suffering and the lies they had been deceived by. He cared about the people and loved them.

We just finished our first week in Provo. We've spent most of our time looking for jobs, praying, and meeting people in our apartments and at the Rock. It seems like a lot of relationships are off to a good solid start out here. We seem to be in big crowds a lot here, so God really spoke to me at the right time with this verse. I want to be more like him.

If you get a chance to pray for us, pray for the city and that God would break down Satan's stronghold that he has here, that God would bless us with jobs this coming week, and that God would build up our brothers and sisters in the church here.
