Ask Not
by
Barbara Philbrook
Ask not
for earthly riches or fame,
ask instead how to bring honor and glory to God's name.
Seek not
to make others admire you,
seek instead to find others who have need of something
you can do.
Ask not to
have your load lightened for you,
ask instead for the strength to carry you through.
Try to
find souls who have not found the way,
then offer to introduce them to your Savior today.
Ask not
why we go through the things we do,
instead be willing to learn the lessons God has for
you.
Look not
for Jesus to come for us today,
instead search for another who has not found the way.
Ask
not when will this life end so I may go home,
ask instead to be left until each soul has been shown.
After we
share the truth with each and everyone,
Our Father will bring us home with the words "well
done".
