Compassionate Service

Compassionate Service Compassionate service is a gift to God. Serving His children, acting on gospel sod. Truths are taught about good Christian living. All too often people are too busy for giving. When we help others along life’s way And give their soul an uplifted day, We are letting love’s little light shine. Thanking the Lord for His Gift divine When life is wrought with pain before it’s raced. Comfort comes, as faith in God remains placed. Serve one another is what Jesus asked. Sometimes we do it with our feelings masked. Run, but be not weary, work, pray, and fast. Painfulness, my friend, like time, shall fly past. When sadness strikes and you are serving God. Receive His blessings from trials you trod. A soul with insight is with wisdom blessed. Look inside and find God’s love caressed. A cheerful giver with a humble heart, On the road to heaven has a jump-start. So, be uplifted; God will give you strength. He will be by your side through each thorny length. He knows your heart and He loves your ways. When one lives by His teachings, life has happy days. © August 13, 2010 Dane Smith-Johnsen
