Christian,
Ever feel your witness is insignificant,
And your reach is weak to those who are so
distant?
After all, what can just one small voice do,
Among the billions to whom Christ is … “Who?!”
Those close by, to whom you speak of Him,
Sternly reject words you speak to them,
Choosing to live out their lives making more
money,
Not knowing, to God, they are just like a zombie.
Your best witness may not be your word,
Which to them, is just like one big
blur.
Let your character and actions be what are
‘heard’.
They’ll speak over and beyond any spoken
word.
Beyond this, there’s something that matters
most,
Something that, to God, matters the utmost!
Behind words and actions lie motives -- of
these be pensive,
So your words and actions will be much more
persuasive.
Then you’ll receive wisdom and inspiration
To share God’s great strength to your generation.
Your witness may even become His fulcrum,
To share His saving power to those
to come.
So keep on sharing, don’t mind the results!
Don’t mind the world in all its somersaults!
As you mind your motives and witness
faithfully,
God may use your witness … generationally!
~O~
O God, You have taught me from
my youth;
And to this day, I declare
Your wondrous works.
Now also when I am old and
grayheaded,
O God, do not forsake me,
Until I declare Your strength to this generation,
Your power to everyone who is to come.
Psalm
71:17-18
Good one John!
ReplyDeleteI have learned that, as I share with believers and unbelievers alike, I feel as if the Word is not being taken seriously. But if I share and don't even worry about weather they accept or not, and just leave it up to the Lord to handle, I would not feel too bad. By me doing this, I have had people approach me from years back with a different testimony--thank You Jesus. I have had people who have just gotten to their very end and just ask for me to pray and talk to them. Some will apologize for the way they talk to me before (that is a change). Above all things, I will say what the Lord give me to share and leave the rest to Him. I can share more openly now when I KNOW that God is the one that changes the person, not me. I am just that tiny instrument, willing to be used for His glory. With the help of the Lord, I will plant the seed, leave it alone, and let God take care of the rest. My voice is very significant for God's use. To God be the glory!
Hello, and thanks for reading this poem. Yours is the most substantive and positively encouraging comment received in a long time. I hope other readers will see and appreciate your experiences confirming God is highly strategic and purposeful. He is also GRACEFUL to allow us to play small parts in His grand scheme of salvation. Blessings~
