These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

My Calling

To be the help I'm called to be
among my friends, and the lost I see
is quite the matter easily known
by those, who set Christ on the throne.

My calling seeks to love each soul
along the path to the heavenly goal.
The job is simple. It starts with the tongue.
We lift up praise, that needs to be sung.

Each human has a value placed
within the heart, that needs our grace.
No breathing soul upon the Earth
is like the God, Who gives new birth.

Since we aren't God, Who judges right,
let's bless all humans. Give them light.
The worst of souls still needs to be loved.
This love we have from God Above.

Agreement may not be at the first,
but hearts are softened by meeting thirst.
Great evil may still live down here,
but giving help and hope it's clear
is my calling from God's heart so near.
