In Christ we have great significance, and we are important to God for the sake of the Kingdom.
What about Joseph, Gideon and Samson?
Deborah, Ruth and Esther? -
Yes, even Rehab, the harlot?
These were men and women,
who through Faith conquered kingdoms
and did what is right.
They could keep a lion's mouth shut;
put out blazing fires and
emerge unscathed from battle.
They were weak people,
Who were given strength to be brave -
Thereby giving honour and glory
To their Creator!
Shall we, talk about Samuel -
David, Saul or Solomon?
Shall we stress God's Great Need
for Prophets to speak through? -
To correct and rebuke?
or praise and inspire a people,
without whom He'd be unknown
to earthlings?
Yet, whether great or small -
An Elijah or a Jonah -
All had mistakes -
Too many to number.
If not disheartened like Elijah;
then stubborn like Jonah -
Refusing to bring Good Tidings to pagans!
Even when He would save us
from eternal destruction and death;
God needed a Body in which
He could dwell here upon earth.
A Man, born according to ancient Divine Promises,
descendant from Adam -
The Lamb without spot or blemish,
to be slain by His Own Creation!
No sooner was He risen from the Grave,
having broken Death's hold -
the First-born of God's New
Spiritual Creation -
when He passed on His duty
to those who'd profess Him:
"I need you .......
To tell men about Me!"
"Each Truth is a Jewel -
I'm revealing it to you -
Seek a heart-home for each.
And as you give, you'll receive.
Some spirit-starved friend
will be glad to discover it.
Use all I have given;
drop one here and two there.
Into each life and heart
I ache to find a way -
A purpose for which I do need you.
As a Light, you should shine
and portray My Great Love,
till joyfully, they shout:
'Come into my heart, Lord YAHU'SHUAH.'"
How could ever a man despise
this great Plan
whereby God uses those
who have hearkened.
Their plea He will answer:
"Lord, teach me to follow Thy footsteps
To light, out of darkness. "
And to those who still doubt
whether someone as Great as God,
may proclaim :
"Yes, I need you?"
To you, my dear friend,
won't you sit down and think:
"Love cannot be greater than giving
your life for a friend?"
Standing there, cleansed and redeemed,
having newly been purchased -
won't you yield to the Heavenly Invitation?
Won't you NOW - open your heart;
Give of your time,
all your love? -
Won't you yield to His Cry:
"I DO NEED YOU!"
