Because of Me - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Sent by Jesus
out into the world
to be his messenger
his servant
to go where he calls

Through of me
the seeds are scattered
by my words,
by my actions
how I live in life

But if I am unfaithful
fail to follow his commands
judge my neighbor harshly
rejecting love and service
wanting my possessions instead

What have I accomplished
in the name of Christ
what seeds have I planted
on the dusty road

Where will they flourish
survive and grow
if I do not reflect Jesus
everywhere I go

my comment posted to this post:
“This is a very powerful message and one that needs repeating. We as Christian deny Christ when we do not live out the Great Commission by creating barriers, stumbling blocks to Christ. We must be sowing joy, not judgment, love not division, hope not condemnation, agape love not the values of the world. Only in this are we fulfilling our call, using our gifts for God's glory.”

“Jesus tells the disciples to love one another and that,
by our love for one another, the whole world will know
we are His disciples. Rene will share how her grandmother
