We Don't Need a Weatherman...




...thanks, Bob Dylan,

To know which way the wind blows;

When we come across someone

Who has Christ at the center

Of his thoughts and life,

We know, oh how we know.

And tell me it isn't a thrill

To find those like-minded.

                            But still,

The object of what we're doing

(I remind myself)

Is not solely to bless those

Who already feel as we do --

Though getting to live

For Him is wonderful --

But to so live our lives

That others may wonder,

What causes that person

To be radiating such

Joy and lovingkindness?

And when they ask,

To be able to tell them

What is  blessing us so greatly,

To be this very day

A reflector of that light

Jesus talks about,

Which cannot be hid,

And just may cause one

To seek things higher,

Ending up with a heart

For our great King on fire.

Can you think of anything

In this world more glorious?
