Who will listen?

I sat quietly this morning, journal in hand, asking the Lord what He wished to share. 

I long to speak to My people, but few are listening.

As in the days long before, there are those who study, observe and cling to My Word but would not recognize Me if I were to walk among them.

I do now walk among you.

I Am the homeless one; the hungry one; the lame, the weak, the desperate one.

And many walk past Me, saying I have no time to stop, I am busy serving the Lord.

I can scream in anguish yet ears remain closed.

What kind of love can you claim that can ignore the cries of the broken, or their sudden silence?

Look upon these in need and I will be reflected in your eyes.

Thank You, Lord for these words of reproach.  May my eyes see, my ears hear and my heart be open.  May I learn to be poured out and spent in love for the least of these, yes, for You.

The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.  Matthew 25:40 NIV
