Helping those who cannot help themselves by Raymond A. Foss
We must face the fact
that we fail to be Christians
believing that God only helps those
who help themselves

God is the opposite
believing in kindness
helping those who cannot
who are unable to help themselves

The canard of this world
the belief in self-reliance
the arrogance that the clay
is better than the Master

We are humble bits of dust
breathed into life by God
we should be helping all those others
who need our loving care

We should be Christians
by emulating Jesus
offering love to all we meet
crossing to their side of the street
offering them Jesus
