Saving Souls

Our to offer the seeds
the truth as we know it
God in our lives
giving us voice

Saving souls
one by one
the work of God alone
ours to sow the seeds
that he would bring them home

Matthew 13:1-11; 24-30
“Waste and Grace”,
by Rev. Frank Gulinello, Jr.
“ Jesus’ parable of the Sower focuses on the scattering of the seed.
No matter what kind of ground it falls upon, whether hardpan or
deep rich soil, God will have a harvest yielding a hundred fold.
So, scattering the seed aimlessly is not wasteful in God’s economy.”

Saving Starfish

Following his call, within himself
what he feels told to do
saving starfish on the beach
returning them to life,
to the living waters
the vastness of His love
walking the shore
taking them, one at a time
back to the waters
