I was riding along the street when someone I didn’t know recognised me. “Jesus Christ!”, she said, “I haven’t seen you in ages!”. I stopped to talk to her. She said “Sorry, I thought you were someone else.* ”
I rode on, praying that by the Spirit’s work people would look at me and see Christ.
(* she said she thought I was her brother-in-law)
