This one I remember with slight sorrow; I was thinking of three great friends I knew back when I was in 5th\/6th grade, who didn’t know the Lord at the time. Unfortunately, two of them are no longer among the living, and I questioned why I didn’t try sharing more with them – even over Facebook, email, or the phone. Now, whenever I think of them – and this poem – I am encouraged to share my faith while I still have the chance, because once you cross into eternity, the opportunities end.<\/p>\n
\u201cA Christian remembering his unsaved friends\u201d (#11)
\nOh Lord God, use me to reach the people I know,
\nNear or far, wherever they are;
\nLet your living waters through me flow,
\nAnd touch their lives, opening their eyes
\nTo the Jesus living in me;
\nSo that they may see your truth,
\nAnd this, too, do I plea:
\nGive them open ears and hearts
\nTo hear and receive the message from above;
\nLet me be an example to them
\nOf your everlasting love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
