If I Hurt
So
by
Barbara Philbrook
If I hurt
so because of not seeing those I love,
can you imagine the pain suffered by God above?
Our Father
who so lovingly pours out His grace,
has doubt, disobedience and outright rejection to face.
He listens
patiently with fine tuned ears,
in many cases for many many years.
He beckons
so lovingly to each and every child,
and is so often met with accusations and denial.
He
provides for us in so very many ways,
as we stumble through life so often in a daze.
Having
made and carried out His part in the salvation plan,
giving His Son to save sinful man.
If I hurt
just because my loved ones and I are apart,
imagine His pain when His children harden their heart.
Imagine
being rejected and treated so bad,
when I try to contemplate it I feel so sad.
God
created us and set the price of sin,
then gave up His Son so we could invite Him in.
I can't
even begin to imagine what He must feel,
I can only determine to tell of His love with more zeal.
If I hurt
so and I am such an sinful soul,
imagine what God feels when He's met by hearts so cold.
