Forgiving and Sharing

How long has it been since you’ve extended your hand to someone truly in need? 
Has it become old fashion or unworthy of your efforts performing good deeds?
We are what we plant and the crop we reap depends much on the seeds we sow.
And doing right and sharing Gods Word is one of the things so many people need, this I know!

The ones that call their selves atheists are usually the ones God is showing His grace,
And maybe there are those that really believe there is no God, but there will be a day they will stand and look into His face.
And that will be the day they will learn the cold hard meaning of the words “too late,”
And the harsh reality of that little word called, “fate.”

Even before I was a born again Christian, I knew the difference between right and wrong,
Something inside always told me when I was about to mess up, and sometimes the feeling was mighty strong.
I like to believe it was my Guardian Angel sent by God to tag along,
To keep me out of trouble and guide me on the straight and narrow where I belong.

More and more people are being healed with terminal illness’ and the doctors say this just can’t be,
What they don’t realize is that faith the size of a mustard seed is all it takes to set you free.
One of the hardest tasks for man is simply being able to forgive,
And that is one of the main requirements if someday in Heaven we wish to live.

Being a Christian doesn’t mean that we automatically get a ticket inside those Pearly Gates,
We have to battle the devil everyday and not stray from the narrow and straight.
That is why we must stay in Gods Word and reach out to others who are lost,
Try to explain that they need to repent and explain how Jesus will forgive and what that word forgiveness truly did cost!
