Can I Have A Few Minutes Of Your Ti

Can I Have A Few Minutes Of Your Time???



 



My Christian brother…



 I don’t mean to intrude.



I know you’re busy...



 I don’t want to be rude…



 



You told me you’re too busy and don’t care…



But I can’t find anyone else…  Anywhere!



 



I was hoping for a few minutes of your time…



But you almost act like “I’ve committed a crime…”



 



I think of the parable of the priest,



Levite or good Samaritan...



The Samaritan seen a hurting man



And took care of him!



 



The other two represented the church of the day.



They simply passed up the beaten man



without a word to say!



 



There’s people like him that surround



you with various needs…



Perhaps you need to go where



 the Holy Spirit leads!



 



Rather than making excuses of



 how busy you seem to be…



What you do or do not do will



impact someone’s eternity!



 



May the love of Christ compel us



 to HIS love in action!



Reaching others for HIM must be done



 with a heart of compassion!



 



May the love of Christ stir us



 and daily be a reminder.



To those around us… May we be sensitive and kinder!



 



Christ was never too busy for me. 



And is always there!



May we be his example to other people, 



everywhere!

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!
