The Task


Do you ever wonder
What your purpose is on earth...
What was the Father’s plans
When he created you with his hands.

He knew us even before
We were placed in the womb
We were on his mind
To be born for such a time.

I know we have a mission
As we live from day to day
To be a shinning light for him
To brighten up the way.

To show his love and kindness
To those we meet and say...
A word of encouragement
A word of hope today.

The choice to make a difference
He leaves for us to make
What a blessed opportunity
One that we should take.

For when we get to heaven
The question will be asked..
What did you do for me on earth
Did you take on the task..

To spread my words of love
And tell them about me ..
Oh yes Lord, I said to thee.

He said well done, faithful servant
Enter in and follow me.

Hi:
I was just stopping by to see what you were up to. For some silly reason my hand, which was so much better, is really hurting today so I am not up to typing. So I made this little message to let you know I still came by...and I loved your post because I always do!

A beautiful poem. I've often wondered where my place is in God's plan for me. I know I've done a few things He wanted me to do. I hope it's enough. He is so precious to me and has done so much for me how could I not do His will.
Thanks for sharing your heart,
Luv u,
AliceE.

Precious Sister,

Coming to your blog is like sipping a warm cup of herbal tea on a cold night. I am always so deeply warmed in my heart.

Bless the LORD O my soul and all that is within me Bless His Holy Name.
