“Love the least of these”
do we not see who they are
those without a home
Their hearts are not warm
they crave their cold companions
they feel so alone
The least are hungry
they thrive on the nourishment
that false praise feeds them
They are in great pain
that is weakening their hearts
sapping their soul’s strength
The least are needy
they need assurance of love
they hide all their pain
Who seeks out the least
He who knows the heart sees them
He welcomes them in
The least shun the great
the least will not share their lives
their love is not shared
The least have nothing
nothing of useful value
yet they feel wealthy
We deceive our hearts
the least believe they stand tall
they mock true servants
The least do not see
they do not see their folly
they do not look up
Those who were thought tall
have become the least of all
we must love the least
The least raise themselves
the humble live to bow down
God raises His own
Those who judge the least
are truly themselves the least
pride will betray them
The truth of God is love
His love will raise His children
their hearts remain full
They once were empty
yet God filled them with His seeds
seeds that bear His fruit
Haughty hearts are full
full of self-inflated worth
no room for God’s voice
Humble hearts want God
they always yearn to hear Him
they empty their cares
They know their great need
God will fill the empty heart
He fills it with Him
When all is complete
when His redemption is sealed
our hearts will be one
We pray for the least
we dig into our own hearts
and we discover
We are all the least
we have always needed Him
we are His children
