Mark 9:41 “For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.”
I’ve never housed a homeless person
I’ve never been that brave –
But, oh how I’ve longed to show others
the grace, the love, the One who saves!
I’ve never worked in a shelter
or fed someone on the street –
but, oh how I need to let others see
the Jesus living inside of me!
I’ve never cradled an orphan in my arms
I’ve never adopted a lonely soul –
But, oh how I pray for those who’re hurting
with faith that He will make a way!
I’ve never been the best Christian
I didn’t do everything that I could have
I didn’t say everything that I should have
But, oh how I love the man who hung on that cross…
the One who took away my darkness
and lit up my heart with faith and peace,
filled my life with grace and mercy,
assured me that, despite all my fears –
all the times I’ve failed Him….
He still loves me and His love is a fire
burning inside me, reminding me
whatever comes – despite all the worst
I know the One who will, one day, come back –
Oh, dear Jesus, I’m waiting for that moment
when I’ll see for myself – the nail scared hands and feet,
the beauty of such grace, such peace…
the wonder of a light that never fades or dims,
a light that reveals the love that lives on through eternity!
