Jesus saw a man and He said to him, 'follow Me.' Matthew 9:9

Rob was a city policeman. He saw that many young boys got into trouble stealing cars and decided to do something about it. First, he built a very safe racetrack on his parent's farm property. Then he cleaned out a big old barn and equipped it with a car hoist and a full set of mechanic's tools.

Doing this took a lot of money and effort. But Rob did it to serve God. He started a club for boys who appeared before the court. It was called The Speedsters' Club. The rules were strict. Each Speedster had to keep up good school work, obey his parents if he had parents, stay out of trouble, and cooperate with the other boys in the club.

Rob bought a couple of late model cars from the wreckers and taught the boys how to rebuild a car. They learned how to work safely, use tools, and help each other to get the job done. When the cars were restored, the boys took turns driving on the racetrack. They learned good driving skills and safety rules.

One day, a Speedster asked Rob. 'Why do you do this? It costs lots of money.' Rob answered. 'Because God loves you and I want you to see God's love in action.'

Prayer: Dear Lord, I want to be like Rob and let others see God's love in action through me. Amen.
