They
By Rick L. King
December 10, 2011

Money is but a tool
For God’s kingdom
To minister to many needs of others
And to promote God’s will

To some, their money will be like tissues
When they stand in God’s presence
Hopefully they will have enough to wipe away all of their tears
When they realize that they treated others as peasants

They lavished self with luxury
And left many without
Many died and were hungry
As they never realized what life was about

They thought life was just about self
As they bought in to the devil’s lie
So many were so low
When they were living so high

The greatest joy is in giving
Just like Jesus did for you
He laid down His life
Though self, and not Jesus, they did pursue

I wonder if ignorance
Will be a valid excuse
Because God’s Word says that every man will hear
Though many will not listen and get a clue

We are to be a blessing to many
When God gives us wealth to share
Yet we get so selfish
And about others we seem to not care

It is like the scripture that says
When you see your brother cold, naked, or without a bed
You didn’t offer him warmth, clothes, or a place to lay
You just said go, and be warm instead

If you have this world’s goods
And do not offer to share
How dwells the love of God in you
When you could have helped; you just left others in despair.
