"Connected"

Connected

            “Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord…”

                                         Ephesians 6:7 (NIV)

 

When someone gives a smile

to another lost in need,
it occurs to me how close that is
to how we’re meant to be.

When someone does a kindness
for those who cannot find
their own way to happiness,
I sense a common mind.

When someone cares for others,
pains are set aside,
for it is in serving others
we learn we can abide
all the trials set for us
but not if we’re alone;
in this spacious world of ours
we learn to fully own
the connectedness God sets for us,
for we’re meant to live as one.

When we give that needed service,
God’s will on earth is done.
