Across the Line with Jesus
When someone draws a haughty line
And says it’s “us” and “them,”
We’ll see across the line they drew
That Man from Bethlehem.
He always reached the lost and lone
And healed the sick and lame;
He saved the sinful, raised the dead,
And bore their guilt and shame.
So when we feel like being glad
We’re better than “that guy,”
Let’s stop and think what Jesus did
And tell our pride goodbye.
If we’ve been saved from sin and hell
It’s ’cause we’re one of “them,”
So let’s be quick to show the love
Of Christ from Bethlehem.

It’s so easy to have a haughty, prideful spirit. Thank you for the reminder that, but by the grace of God, there go I. It’s because of Him and nothing of my own
May your week be filled with blessings.
Dear Christina,
Have you ever been reminded just how often God uses your poetic gift at ‘just the right time’?
So when I open up my emails this morning, there is your absolutely spot-on thoughts put into words.
I truly believe you were used by our heavenly Father to send out that poem exactly when you did.
