My Job... To Love... Simple Yet Profoundly Difficult!

Life is full of questions.
Questions we ask of God.
These questions occasionally get swift answers,
but never fast enough for our fast paced minds.

I sit back and observe your people suffering,
Refusing and running away from you.
Why?  Why do they run?
They run to Earthly quick fixes.
These fixes lead them empty and miserable.
Leading them to a prison of more and more fixes.

Their eyes, Oh their sad and scared eyes!
The only depth is defined by hurt, anger, rejection, fear, and deep pain.
I see their pain and misery.
Forcing my heart to drown in tears.
I want them to see "My Savior"!
I want them to know the love of "My Savior"!

Lord, when my heart hurts, there's nowhere I'd rather run,
But straight into the arms of Jesus.
Jesus, you are my hiding place.
You protect and comfort my vulnerable heart.
I find peace, at the foot of the cross.
Immersed in your Word, there is healing.

How can I be a light, in such a dark world?
A world, searching, longing, and needing your healing.
Healing is found only through the hands of Jesus.

You walked upon the Earth.
Healing the sick, extending love...
And revealing your miraculous nature.
Why?  To show your power, awesomeness, and position.
No!  Only to show "Love".
Love is the reason you came!

My funds are limited, my ability to love small, and my understanding incomplete.
Your word tells me to give to those in need, love, and seek wisdom.
You never called me to be a Savior.
You are our Savior!
My job is simple yet profoundly difficult.

What is my job?  My part in the bigger picture?
What?  You say, "Love"!
Love...  Such a hard job, in my self-centered focus.
I've prayed, cried, reached out, and offered my reason for hope.
I've tried to to live according to your Word.


I realize, I need to stop trying to be their Savior.
To simply love.
How?
Live as a ray of Sonlight.
Shine on the world.
Love them in the midst of the sin.
Love...  That's all I can do!

I will give what I can, love with the love you've bestowed upon me.
I will pray... pray... pray... for the lost and broken.
I will leave the rest up to you, their Savior.
The ultimate ray of Sonlight!
