One day, a man went to visit a church. He got there early, parked his car and got out. Another car pulled up near the driver got out and said, ‘I always park there! You took my place!’

The visitor went inside for Sunday School, found an empty seat and sat down. A young lady from the church approached him and stated, ‘That’s my seat! You took my place!’ The visitor was somewhat distressed by this rude welcome, but said nothing.

After Sunday school, the visitor went into the sanctuary and
sat down. Another member walked up to him and said, ‘That’s where I
always sit! You took my place!’ The visitor was even more troubled by
this treatment, but still He said nothing.

Later as the congregation was praying for Christ to dwell among them,
the visitor stood up, and his appearance began to change. Horrible scars became visible on his hands and on his sandled feet.

Someone from the congregation noticed him and called out, ‘What
happened to you?’ The visitor replied, as his hat became a crown of thorns, and a tear fell from his eye, ‘I took your place.’

When you receive this, take the time to call out to the One who took
your place. If you know Him, give Him the praise he so rightly deserves. If you don’t know Him, maybe it’s time to have a ‘one on one’ meeting with Him that will never fail you. Either way call out to
Jesus, That’s all you have to do, He will take you by the hand, and
take your place.

To all my friends and family, I want to send a special thank you for your kind wishes here on facebook, through phone calls, and through email!

Turning 36, happily married to a beautiful and wonderful wife, two wonderful little boys, experiencing a closer walk with Jesus Christ, and having so many loving family members and friends is really awesome, and for your part in my life, I say a thank you that words may never express the magnitude of.

People come into our lives, some only for a little while, some are lifelong, but I truly do believe that each and every person is there for a reason. We may not always notice that reason immediately, and sometimes, maybe never truly realise it, but there is a reason. We are in each other’s life for a reason, and I pray that God use me to lift up, inspire, and motivate you and everyone I meet to see His light and love.

It has been very humbling to see such a reaction to this birthday, possibly one of the biggest in my life. I truly am grateful for each and every single person taking the time to wish me well. I look forward to the coming years, and pray the Lord to bless us all beyond measure, according to His will.

If you remember but one thing about me, remember that I strive to love you as Christ does, and see you through His eyes, so that nothing but true compassion and friendship shines through. To be a faithful and humble servant to our Lord, to be there when you need me, always eager to lift you up to Him.

With Love,
Jeffery Moore
