These
days we live in a “Martha” world.
Continually
running to and fro.
Fretting
about so many things,
Our
frustrations begin to show.
So
much to do, so little time.
Not
enough hours in the day.
If
we have a heart like “Martha”,
It’s
essential we get away.
We
need to go to our quiet place.
Jesus
will meet us there.
He
knows our need of His presence,
His
love, compassion, and care.
Jesus
desires time with us.
And
we sorely need the rest.
He
erases every worry and care.
His
presence removes our stress.
The
time we spend with Jesus,
Will
renew and strengthen our soul.
He
can give us a “Mary” heart,
But
we must surrender control.
Jesus
desires we give of ourselves,
And
minister those in need.
It
matters not which heart we have,
Either
heart can plant the seed.
The
seed of desire to know Him,
He,
who died that all might live.
By
putting faith and trust in Him,
All
sins, He will forgive.
When
we become a child of God,
Eternal
life is our reward.
Forever
in His presence,
Giving
praises to our Lord.
But
if we never take the time,
To
fellowship with our Savior.
We,
who are the salt of the earth,
Will
begin to lose our flavor.
As
His light in this lost and dying world,
We
must always let it shine through.
Lord,
give us a “Mary” heart,
For
that heart stays focused on You.
