A Major Challenge - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

To live as God commands
to be salt to the earth
to take on the Christ
to be light to the world

A major challenge
to we who are so selfish
thinking of ourselves
seeking earthly treasure

To listen to Christ
to the words of his teachings
the whisper of the Spirit
calling us within

A major challenge
to be disciples
heeding his message
God’s call for our lives
