Opportunity

I believe that as Christians we really only have two jobs in this world and everything I do fits, or should fit under the umbrella of one of those areas.
1. Loving God
2. Sharing that Love with the world

I realize that that may be a gross oversimplification of things, but Jesus also summed it up very close to that in Mark 12:29 – 31 when he was asked what the first commandment was.
29. And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

I wrote the poem below a long time ago when a man of some influence in my life died suddenly while at work. He had been a professed atheist when I knew him, and I was intrigued by that. Not that I thought he might be right, but by how can you not know that there’s a God.

When I heard of his death, I felt the scolding of the Spirit asking me “where is your light, why do you rob people of Heaven by not sharing the Love of God with them.”
It stings, but all I can do is do Better, and pray that God gives me the backbone to do his bidding.  The words below came to my mind and were written down, for the most part within 5 minutes of me hearing this news.

I do not profess to be a poet or a writer for that matter, so please look at the content of the message and forgive me for my continuous abuse of the English language.

A day like any other
it started out to be
but then I heard the news
It was so very sad to me

A man I thought a lot of
A man that taught me much
Was gone without a Savior
A heart that was untouched

It might have been much different
if only I’d have done
my duty to the Master
this soul I might have won

I may have been too bashful
or just a little scared
But Forever is a long time
to risk because of fear

So help me now Lord Jesus
to trust you and obey
To be your constant witness
by showing them the Way

God Bless You Richly,
Greg

I'm a Husband, Father, Pawpaw and Pastor. I love spending time with my grand-buddies. A minister since 1988, I have been blessed to work in several churches around the U.S and currently am blessed to pastor an Awesome Church. I've also had the pleasure of ministering in faraway places while traveling for work. Some of my greatest honors have been the relationships I gained with several of the modern-day Heros of the Faith, the ministering families all around the world. Several years ago I started working with leather as a means to fight boredom while working in remote areas. It swiftly became a passion that I want to share as well. My plan is to keep spreading God's Love through the written and preached word, through walking the walk, and to keep making cool stuff along the way.
