cold climbed in deep
and would not let me go.
The blankets you gave
like arms wrapped close
whispering Jesus.
I had never heard that name
but now I know
it means warm.
Alone, frightened
hunger dug in deep
and would not let me go.
The food you sent
poured into all that empty space
whispering Jesus.
I had never heard that name
but now I know
it means full.
You didn't tell me.
You showed me.
Opening your own life
to touch mine.
And now I know
Jesus means love.

ReplyDeleteAmen...doing all in His Name. Would that I could sponsor an infinite number of children, but thankful for the ones I can.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. What a great way to put ourselves in their shoes!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. Jesus- the name that meets all of our needs. Oh, how I love the way He loves the small ones. Thanks for inspiring. I agree with Connie- I wish I could sponsor them all :) For now, I'm loving on three.
