Deserted By the One Who Said I Love You
Deserted By the One Who Said; “I Love You!”.
I met someone who didn't
know whom to turn to…
She was deserted by the one
who said; "I love you!"
I can't begin to describe
her look of despair.
She asked; "does anyone out
there really care?"
She told me of her very
difficult situation.
Feeling hopelessness
and frustration.
I remember seeing her and her
family at church before.
But things are different now...
She's not happy anymore.
I was in a hurry... not wanting
this "extra burden."
But this one thought from scripture
became quite certain.
We must minister to the widows
and single mothers too.
This is a command Jesus asks of me and you.
As the body of Christ... we must
serve one another.
Reaching out to the widows
and the single mother.
We must see that their needs get
our undivided attention.
Even though, at times,
it's a difficult situation.
We must act quickly and
firmly take a stand.
Reaching out to those forsaken…
as Christ commands!
Let’s minister to the hurting
and lonely as Christ wants us to!
Tomorrow… It could be me…
Or YOU!
