LOVE THE LOST

by Lewis E. Thomas  
4/12/2016 / Poetry


I ran into a Christian acquaintance the other day.
This is what the self righteous man had to say!

He complained about other employees on his job he had to work around!
He said "They do this and they do that" as he made an ugly frown!

He said, "I cannot "stand" working around a bunch of lost heathens!"
As I listened I became "grieved in my spirit" for obvious reasons!

JESUS CHRIST "never shunned" the sinner or those who were lost!
They are "the reason" that He went to the Cross!

There are unsaved sinners around me everywhere I go!
I try to build a "relationship" with them "when I can" though sometimes it's slow.

I want them to feel the love of Jesus reaching out to them "through me!"
I pray that Jesus will open their blind eyes so that they can spiritually see!

You see, "I used to be one of those godless sinners and heathens too!"
Until The Grace of God reached down and made me new!

"Look onto the fields for the harvest is truly plenteous but the labourers few!"
"Let us love all those sinners and heathens and ask God to "make them new!"

Matthew 9:37-38 KJV

Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; [38] Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

John 4:35 KJV
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

Proverbs 11:30 KJV
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

1 John 3:17 KJV
But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

Matthew 9:11-13 KJV
And when the Pharisees saw it , they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? [12] But when Jesus heard that , he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. [13] But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.


Luke 7:37-38 KJV
And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, [38] And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

2 Timothy 2:24-26 KJV
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men , apt to teach, patient, [25] In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; [26] And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

1 John 4:7-8 KJV
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. [8] He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

1 John 4:20-21 KJV
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? [21] And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
