Humbled Humiliated Honored by Kathleen Higham Often, when I pray to God I ask to serve my best Wanting to be spectacular Thinking, I can pass the test But, one day He showed me To be humble, then to please As a paralyzed woman cried to me Made me fall down on my knees We were in this restroom And she was in desperate need I listened as she tried to speak In her anguish, I felt her plead I was completely intimidated By a stranger with garbled speech But God had firmly guided me To a railing she couldn't reach I felt this woman's humility As I quietly closed the door Lifted her from her wheel chair God didn't need to say anymore There was a trust and thankfulness Seeing passionate, grateful eyes I knew I was serving God At last, I came to realize That serving God is spectacular I was honored in this place It doesn't matter where you are Looking at her, I saw His face So, if we help one another With love, we'll finally see We are serving the Lord our God For the least of these, is He. Matthew 25:40 |
