When We Need Words
(c) By: Sharon Slaton Howell
Whether comforting a person
who has lost someone dear,
or being asked to write something
that needs to be made clear,
by looking to the Source
of all inspired thought,
we will be led to speak or write
the Christly words we ought.
Speaking to his disciples
Jesus told them one day,
don't worry ahead of time
what you're going to say.
(see Matthew 10:18-20)
Being brought before judges
for His name's sake,
while no doubt daunting,
His counsel did they take.
While neither you nor I
will face anything that dire,
wanting to help where we can
and lift the atmosphere higher,
when we look to God for thoughts,
it will be as Jesus said:
we'll have the words we need;
we will by Mind be led.
