Have You Been Hurt, Trying to Help
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

Have You Been Hurt,  Helping a "Friend?"



 



You may have tried to help



 a "friend" in need.



Many "hard luck" stories



 to you he feeds.



 



You try to help him.  And this



makes you feel good.



But this "friend," isn't being honest



Like a friend should.



 



Then something happens. 



You begin to say.



"Lord...  Why isn't he being



truthful with me...  today?"



 



If your motive is love. 



Then you are not wrong.



The principle of giving is



what really belongs.



 



Your "friend" will answer to



God for doing his part.



God is the true judge and



really knows his heart.



 



Just keep giving to others. 



Keep doing your best.



Give everything to God.  Let him



 take care of the rest.



 



Lay your treasures up in heaven



 and you will see.



The riches of God



in you, throughout eternity!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
