If there were just one in a hundred souls
Who found themselves far from the fold
If the way to their rescue was rough and unsure
And staying behind would be easier
Who would go to save them or be willing to try
Jesus would, would I

If there were someone who needed a friend
Who was different than most, never seemed to fit in
And it would mean taking time I could use for myself
And it would be easier left to someone else
Who would take them in who would take the time

Is there any doubt what He would do
If the one in need were me or you
Jesus would give His life
All over again in the blink of an eye
If I were in His shoes would I
If the one in need were me or you
Jesus would give His life
All over again in the blink of an eye
If I were in His shoes would I
If I were asked to spend all my days
Loving my neighbor, walking in God’s ways
And if sometimes that road was lonely and long
And the burdens I carried made it hard to go on
Would I stay on the path all my life
Jesus would
Jesus did, will I
One wise companion of mine said: Loving my neighbor, walking in God’s ways
And if sometimes that road was lonely and long
And the burdens I carried made it hard to go on
Would I stay on the path all my life

"God's first and greatest commandment is to love. Because God loves you he sent you to this earth. Because he loves you he put you in a family. Because he loves you, you have trials, difficulties, challenges and obstacles. But most of all because he loves you he sent his son Jesus Christ to atone for your sins so you may return into his loving arms. All other principles of the gospel are appendages to God's love.
“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment." (Matt 22:37-38)
Never forget the unconditional love that your Father in Heaven has for you."
Would I help? Would I be an example of Jesus Christ and do what he did? Would I?
The most important thing to remember on your mission is to love the people. As the saying goes "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." Love conquers all evil and binds the hearts of men.
ReplyDeleteIt's the universal language that has no barriers....the only reason why barriers may exist is that they were placed there by us to protect our own ego and pride. If you have learned that one lesson on your mission you learned the most important thing to carry throughout your life. Paul said,
"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not charity I am become as a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing." (1 Corinthians 13:1-2)
Love you,
