We are blessed to have such an inspiring writer as Lorraine Szabo, allowing us to use her wonderful work. Again this week we are blessed by one of Lorraine’s Poems called  ‘Loving The Least’

LOVING THE LEAST

TO FOLLOW IN THE STEPS OF JESUS SOWS SACRIFICE OF SELF

HIS WAYS DEPART FROM THE WALKS OUR BELIEFS STEP OUT.

THE TREASURES IN HEAVEN WE PLAN TO STORE STAY ON A SHELF

A MAN MINISTERS TO PRISONERS THEN FINDS HIS ESTRANGED SON.

ANOTHER IS CONFRONTED WITH ANGER AND REBUKE BUT IS FACED

WITH A CHEEK TURNED AWAY,

THEN THERE IS A PERSON WHO GIVES TO A SHIVERING SOUL HIS COAT

ON ARMS TO LAY,

AND THEN INVITES HIM IN FOR A MEAL TO SHARE A SHORT STAY.

WE ARE CONVICTED TO GIVE TO THE NEEDY, THE HUNGRY TO BE FED

EVEN TO GO WITHOUT OURSELVES, OF CLOTHING AND THINGS

NOT NECESSARY TO US, TO BRING AND GIVE AS HE US LED

IN SECRET FOR ONLY GOD TO KNOW, HIS REWARD WILL CLING.

PRAY QUIETLY, YOUR FATHER KNOWS WHAT TO SEND

BEFORE YOU ASK

WHILE FORGIVING THOSE DEBTORS TO WHOM WE LENT

AND HE WILL VALUE US MORE AND MORE WHILE DOING HIS TASK.

CONFIDENTLY, IN THE SPIRIT, LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR SO,

AS GENTLY AS YOU CAN AND FORGIVE OTHERS WHO SIN

LEAD AWAY FROM TEMPTATION, ANNOINT WITH LOVE TO GROW

IN TRUST AND TRUTH, SHOW MANY THAT YOUR LORD’S LOVE WINS.

COMMIT YOUR CARING HEARTS BUT DISCERN IN THE SPIRIT’S WAY.

WORRY NOT ABOUT YOUR DAILY LIVES, EVERY HOUR COUNTS IN HIM

IF YOU BELIEVE AND HONOUR THE SACRIFICES HE MADE TO SO STAY.

WE MUST ACT FROM OUR INNER SOUL, TO MOULD US FREE OF SIN.

MATTHEW 7/9-11-  GOD, WIPE AWAY THE SMOKED GLASS THAT HAS

CLOUDED MY VIEW OF YOU.  HELP ME TO SEE MORE CLEARLY, YOUR LOVE AND YOUR CARE FOR OTHERS.
