And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way. I have been on Little River Trail in all seasons. I have seen it lush and cool in the spring and summer, beautiful and brightly colored with the leaves of fall, and stark and bare in the winter. I have seen it with clear blue skies and like this last time with the fog quietly rolling in. I want to see Jesus like this - in all seasons on clear days and foggy days. I want to seek him just out of sight around the next corner following the path he has laid out for me. I want to be like Zacchaeus who wanted to see Jesus so much that he risked what others thought of him and climbed a tree. Not to many adults I know climb trees. On that day Jesus saw him, the real him, the person behind the short hated tax collector. And he looked into Jesus’ eyes and saw how much Jesus cared for him. The fog was lifted on his way of life. He immediately changed everything he had been, the hated tax collector and followed Jesus.
Prayer Lord Jesus I want to be like Zacchaeus who sought to see you and then saw himself through your eyes of love. I want to seek to follow you on whatever path you lay out for me. Amen
