Show Me Dear Lord

Dear Jesus, my Lord and king Show me what you want of me Tell me what I can do for you I hear your whisper but my hands are tied. Each day I feel your gentle touch And hear you calling me But at a loss I am dear friend For I cannot understand. The answer dear child is simple I never give you more than you can bear Just testify to all The things I do for you each day. What’s simple in your eyes sweet Jesus Seems too big a job you impart Now you throw me into confusion For I don’t know where to start. Just take a pen and paper And jot them one by one Let my Holy Spirit guide you Until your list is done. Thank you dear Jesus I am all set to give it a try But please speak very slowly So that I may get it right.

We all want to understand what He expects of us, but cannot. Simply then, we must treat all as He would have, see all as He would have and be all as He would have. Then, we will be going through Him as expressed in the faith, for we must go through Him in order to get to heaven. Lovely write as it expresses the truth we all experience. Michael

I know the concern of this poem, Meg. I too wonder why I am here. God gave me a talent and I only hope I will be able to follow his guidance. God Bless, Cile
