Look for Opportunities

I find new opportunities

Everywhere I go

Sometimes I look for them

But they also find me

When Jesus fills your heart

You life and very being

All you want is

For others to know the same

His grace and mercy

The joy of knowing Him

The security in His promises

It gives you freedom

To live your life for others

Because He shoulders

All your cares and worries

If you just give them to Him

So when you are out

Look for the sadness

On faces of the elderly

Or harried looks on tired mothers

Rebellion in groups of teens

Lonely bus passengers

Rushing business men

And anger in cars on

The verge of road rage

Just smile

Smile no matter

How they look back

You never know just what

That person goes through

Or goes home to

It could be the only

Positive thing in their life

For years

Or offer help

Maybe they are too scared

And proud to ask

Or they don’t know how

Help load their car

With groceries

Or walk the little old lady

Across the street

Carrying her bag

Cook a meal to give

Or invite them over for one

It doesn’t take much effort

To show God’s love

He gives it freely

So why don’t you too?

A small opportunity

To you isn’t much

Yet means the world

To another
