Open my eyes!

While I see on my way home from school found a nice little bike trail. didn't know where it led to but thought hey what the heck....(I do that a lot and end up getting lost or rather bewildered for a bit I kinda like the feeling...)Any way end up in a sketchy part of town. I end up under a bridge and saw some homeless people. One guy was laying on a box, in a sleeping bag. He was filthy dirty and no older than I.
I was shocked and stunned. Not that I haven't seen homeless people sleeping under bridges, I have, but not so close to home!
I wasn't afraid just didn't know where to go. Ended up going through there little sleeping area and up the hill. There I was faced with a man who seemsed to be rolling things up in thin cigarette paper....
The more I thought about it I was troubled. Here in a 30 mile radius There are drugs addicts, acoholics, Budist, Hindus, SO many different people with so many different problems! I Wanted to do something for those homless druggies, but what can I do I'm one a girl. I thought about going back and giving them tracks. But my mom and dad didn't think that was a safe idea. So..... I didn't.
How can I reach out to these people? Who will go? Will the gospel be ever given to them? I wonder what there lives are like or were like? What lead them down this road? Are they truely Happy and content with the way there lives are like? Will they ever get out of there?
A Young boy no older then 20 is out there looking for answers and searching for them and all in the wrong places. He's hurting, breaking, desperately trying to find just one thing that will cure his life of his problems!
Oh if only he would come to Christ repenting of His sin. If only he would see the Savior who died with open arms for his cure for life! Will he find the LORD before it's too late??
