RU RO!

RU RO!
DID THE NAME OF OUR JESUS
SLIP OUT OF YOUR MOUTH
IN FRONT OF STRANGERS?
DID YOU TESTIFY?
DID YOU PLANT SEEDS
EVEN WHEN
YOU WERE FEELING INVISIBLE,
HURTING,
SAD,
LONELY?
IF YOU DID TESTIFY,
NO MATTER THE HOW OR WHY OR WHEN,
IT WAS
BECAUSE
YOU HAVE BEEN SPENDING TIME
WITH OUR KING,
SO MUCH SO
THAT NEARLY EVERYTHING YOU DO OR SAY
IS IN HIS NAME,
HIS HOLY WORD.

I PRAY
THAT EACH AND EVERY DAY
I CAN HELP SOMEONE,
PLANT A SEED,
LET THEM KNOW THEY ARE NOT ALONE
IN THEIR SUFFERING.
I DON'T WANT THEM TO SEE SHERRIE,
I WANT EVERY ONE TO SEE YOU, JESUS,
SHINING THROUGH.
I MAY BE GETTING CLOSE, LORD,
CUZ A WOMAN I HAD SPOKEN TO
IN THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE THE OTHER DAY,
A WOMAN I HAD NEVER MET,
TOLD ME I HAD A BEAUTIFUL COUNTENANCE.
AND, LATER, I THOUGHT "WOW,"
SHE SAW JESUS,
NOT ME.
GOD NOT ONLY ALLOWED ME TO PLANT A SEED,
BUT BE ENCOURAGED
BECAUSE HE KNOWS HOW MUCH I WANT HIM
TO SAY,
"WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT!".

DON'T YOU?
DON'T YOU WANT TO FEEL HIS HOLINESS
WASH OVER YOU,
GOOSEBUMPS ON YOUR ARMS,
OVERWHELMING WARMTH IN YOUR HEART,
SO MUCH SO
THAT YOU CAN'T SPEAK OR MOVE OR CONTAIN
ALL OF THAT AGAPE LOVE?

IF YOU FEEL YOU DON'T HAVE TIME
TO READ GOD'S WORD
OR TESTIFY,
THEN I WILL TELL YOU ONE THING -
YOU ARE MISSING OUT.

PRAISE GOD BEFORE THE ROCKS CRY OUT,
CUZ,
I MUST REITERATE,
THAT WOULD TOTALLY CREEP ME OUT.

LUKE 19:48

"I TELL YOU," HE REPLIED,

"IF THEY KEEP QUIET,

THE STONES WILL CRY OUT."
