Have you ever been so distracted that you forgot what you’d intended to do? Come on, now. Don’t tell me you haven’t?

A motorist once drove his automobile into a full-service station. Three attendants charged out to service his car (sounds like an old story already, doesn’t it- I mean with that kind of service.) Well, when they finished their work, the driver paid for the 10 gallons of gas and drove off.

Three minutes later, he looked at his gas gauge, and returned to the station, saying, “I’m embarrassed to ask you this, but did anyone put gas in my car?” The three looked at one another, and had to admit that in their rush to serve, they had forgotten to pump the gas.

Interesting, because what happened to those attendants sometimes happens to us. We get so involved in living life, that we forget what the main goal of our life should be.

Jesus came to seek and to save the lost, then He said, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” That’s the main thing, and that’s what we seek to do everyday on the streets of our inner cities.
