“Go Ye”

Help me not to be an ineffectual rattle,
Quiet me, Holy Spirit
Until Your timing is right
Or whisper firmly in love.
Squelch my quivering tongue
Until You can articulate through me
A message in Your strength,
Not my fleshly efforts.
Help me not to be
A noisy, 4th of July display
Straight to the searching heart
With Your Word’s message
Shared in “other seeking”
Selfless love.

There are so many places in the Bible where a believer is encouraged to go and tell. Go into our own world and tell who, EVERYONE about our Lord and Savior. Tell those we see daily – the mail man or lady, the clerk in the store, the policeman on the corner, the waitress in the café, our friend down the street. Tell of the forgiveness available in Jesus Christ – share the wealth. It was pondering about this, the “great commission” to go, tell and make disciples that prompted me to write this poem.

Top-level comments on this article: (1 total)What a remarkable prayer of restraint, filled with sharpness of mind and transcendent humility and calm. You have a truly remarkable spirit.It is all because of Jesus - Christofer... the normal me is impulsive, not peaceful and flunking "Patience 101" on a regular basis... HE is able and gives me strength, peace and all good things!
