Look In Their Eyes



There is
a vast number
of people dying
to have a kind word
spoken to them,
with
warm touch.

We go
through
our day in
such a hurry,
we do not recognize we could
lift them so much.

We see
them daily,
they have a far
away look in their eyes

They
need some
words of encouragement
before
their spirit
totally dies.

We have no
clue, what they
are living
through,
but on the inside
they are dying
and they cry.

We must
keep
our eyes
open and
our ears in tune,
please
do not walk away
and sigh.

We are
the vessels
God will use for
such a times as this,
for another.

We must
be willing to
stop and listen to the
heart of our sister or our brother.

The love
of many
of us
in this day
and age
has waxed
so cold.

Put a fire
to your wick,
light your candle
and stand up and be bold.

Do not
allow
this day to pass
without allowing God
to reach out to them through you.

Open your eyes
and see who stands
before you, allow His
love and warmth to come through.

John 21:15-17
15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of *Jonah, do you love Me more than these?"
He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You."
He said to him, "Feed My lambs."
16 He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of *Jonah, do you love Me?"
He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You."
He said to him, "Tend My sheep."
17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of *Jonah, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?"
And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You."
Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep.
