Unknown

Matthew 9:37-38, Isaiah 52:7 - respectively

A wound unhealed,
Now reopened.
A spirit wilted,
Slowly fading.
A heart grievous,
Sinking low.
A countenance downcast,
A smile scarce.
Tears of hurt,
Unshed.
As a stone caught in the throat,
Is a sob held back.
Body weak,
Strength depleted.
Happiness and joy,
Unknown.
Love and peace,
Are just out of reach,
Like a wistful dream.
A soul desolate,
Empty.
She knows not Christ,
Giver of Life,
The One who can take away all of her fears,
And will wipe away all of the unshed tears.
She’s never been told of His wonderful love for her,
Never been told of how He died on the cross
So that she might have life.
Never experienced such endless love
As Jesus’;
To her, that’s something foreign,
Unknown.
Such a shame that
So many others feel this way,
That so many haven’t ever heard the name of Jesus!
“The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that He will send forth labourers into His harvest.”
“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him
that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace;
that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation;
that saith unto Zion,
Thy God reigneth!”
