Love Like He Did

Meet the Jesus they didn’t introduce

He had friends, was a friend, ate with your friends
He knew the woman before she spoke
Her life was messy and He knew it
An odd time of day
She came for water
Despised by many
She hadn’t spoken
But He knew her
Told her to stop
Offered her life
A movement
Began

Find what’s inside of us all
Allow others into the places we hide
Reach in different directions
Out of the darkness sharing hope
Appreciate the variety
Embrace His creation
Share life in love
Care enough to
do the different
be the different
love different
cross
the lines

Discover the connection between us
Being something that we were afraid of
What makes us God’s work of art
Fear nothing but doing nothing
Connecting is essential
In Him is our potential
Unwrapping ourselves
Freeing our mind
Freeing our time
Sharing our lives
Being His hands
In His Image
Made

Allow Him to know us in our hiding place
Beyond our insecurities He waits
Hearts damaged by well-meant actions
Many leave who could have known
We are called to live in love
He loves us where we are
Never abandoned
Now they miss it
We have caused it
Repair the hurt
Love like He did
By His Name
Forgiven


God made everyone
For a purpose
On purpose
Made
to
Be

His Friend
