I Stopped By

I Stopped By… I stopped by to see you the other day. But you seemed busy, as you went your way… Could we have a few minutes to share together? After all, you’re my next door neighbor… I suppose so many people are in a “tizzy…” Going “here and there…” Everyone’s just “too busy.” Do people that go to church act the same way? Too busy to give someone “the time of day?” Perhaps we can talk some other time… I hope there’s a few ”extra” minutes you can find. I have a need that I was hoping to share. I simply was going to ask you for some prayer. I hope this message rings loud and clear… When I need help, many just “disappear…” I guess I’ll just stay put… And not “bother” anybody. Everyone’s just “too busy.” Yes. Everybody! I’ll simply just go my separate way. Maybe we’ll “catch up” soon. Someday… I may try Jesus. I was told he’s my friend… I was told he’ll be there for me again and again. When Jesus stops by… I want to listen… There’s nothing from him I want to be missin’! He’s my friend. This is what I now see! He’s always there… To spend time with ME! By Jim Pemberton 03/05/11
