"Several years ago, a minister was sent by God to a fishing village...However, in this village there lived an old fisherman who was, and always had been, very rough and ungodly. He broke the Sabbath, never attended church, cursed those who tried to speak with him about spiritual matters and wore loudly on numerous occasions.
After arriving in this small village, the new minister began visiting all the people with one of his elders. When coming to this old fisherman's house his elder warned,"If you do not want to hear God's name misused and His Word mocked, do not go there. Speaking with this man about religion is hopeless."
The minister, however, did not agree. He said to his elder," God opened the eyes of a blind man with clay from the ground. Possibly I am the clay which God plans to use for this old sinner. If he remains hardened, then at least I have done my duty. Let us go; maybe God will bless it."
Perhaps our neighbors and family members still ask the same question: "I want to know what love is...I want you to show me..."
