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!
