as if for the first time

when someone asks
for help, our service
compassion on them
as if for the first time
not remembering the past
times they may have hurt you
remembering Christ
His lesson to give
to pray without ceasing
to find that inner reserve
that Spirit within us
calling us to give, to love,
to offer them Jesus
as if for the first time
when we first believed
