Mark 10:17-22 "As he went out into the street, a man came running up, greeted him with great reverence, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to get eternal life? ”Jesus said, “Why are you calling me good? No one is good, only God. You know the commandments: Don’t murder, don’t commit adultery, don’t steal, don’t lie, don’t cheat, honor your father and mother.”
He said, “Teacher, I have—from my youth—kept them all!”
Jesus looked him hard in the eye—and loved him! He said, “There’s one thing left: Go sell whatever you own and give it to the poor. All your wealth will then be heavenly wealth. And come follow me.”
The man’s face clouded over. This was the last thing he expected to hear, and he walked off with a heavy heart. He was holding on tight to a lot of things, and not about to let go." (MSG Translation)
Reflection.  Be encouraged by this story as we try to Find One person or family to bring into a living vibrant relationship with Jesus. Even Jesus himself had people walk away from him. Folk will not always come along with us. Be aware that Jesus had such compassion for this man. Jesus knew the man's heart and deepest need. 
Prayer. Lord Jesus, help us to see not just those who need you, but those who need you most. He us to love. Amen.
