Love Never Fails

Love Never Fails

How many times do you suppose

We've hurt people and not realized it;

To have reacted without thought;

To have deemed another not ready ...

Worthy, capable, or spiritual enough;

to have picked our favorite over another;

To have excluded one who didn't measure up;

To sit by one more attractive, popular, or fun ...

To have been in such a hurry to greet one

That we bypassed another;

To have closed our heart to someone

Whose words we didn't want to hear ...

To think we've done God a favor

By getting rid of someone

we thought Difficult,

different, or wrong?

How many times do you suppose

This prayer has been prayed for us,

"Father, forgive them;

forThey know not what they do?"

Were we to ask God to open our eyes,

To see ourselves as He sees us;

To examine our heart, actions,

Attitudes, and motives ...

God would be faithful

To show us how we

Are hurting His cause.

Once we've found our sin

And corrected it,

We can ask God to show us

Another and, then, another.

One step at a time,

We'll be weeding out the flesh

And Satan's power over us

While winning the world to Christ.
