I Sometimes
Forget
by
Barbara Philbrook
I sometimes
forget what others see,
when they turn their glance to look at me.
It is not me
their eyes rest upon,
but what I represent and how I carry on.
I am a
representative of my Father above,
and should constantly be displaying His love.
Be forgiving as
I would like to be forgiven,
not allowing myself to be emotionally driven.
Being thoughtful
to one another,
an enticement for others to become a brother.
Sharing what God
has done for me,
extending invitations to others enticingly.
Willing to hear
what makes their heart ache,
telling them that Jesus died for their sake.
I sometimes
forget I am here for a purpose,
and that God does not judge by what is on the surface.
It's what is
deep within that matters to Him,
that is why He provided payment for my sin.
I sometimes
forget that life does not center around me,
and that what's important is eternity.
Eternity with
the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
I wish I could yell loud enough so all could hear it.
I sometimes
forget who and what I am,
and wonder about my part in the Great Master Plan.
I am but a speck
in the Plan you see,
willingly waiting for God to use me.
