Her heart is dedicated to serving others, her points she did not ration
Jesus healed a demon-possessed man in verses one to twenty
And then sent him out as the first missionary to share with plenty
In Mark four, Jesus prayed to God when in the morning He did arise
He also heard the man crying out; ergo “Pray and Hear Their Cries”
In a parallel fashion, God hears our prayers and cries of anguish
Per Romans eight, Jesus intercedes and God often grants our wish
It is of course beautiful when God does answer our heartfelt prayer
For it also serves to confirm that about each of us He does care
Jesus left Capernaum and the boat went through a very rough sea
He went despite knowing the challenge; ergo “Take That Journey”
We may go and bless others but God finds ways to bless us too
Just like when the haze messed up the team’s plan to visit the zoo
Jesus then clothed the healed man, although probably not in tweeds
Even small tokens build self-esteem; ergo “Attend To Their Basic Needs”
Shirley then shared about when she to Penang she led a church team
One of the highlights was when they were able to get the kids to dream
In order to help others, Jesus dealt with discomfort and pain immense
Volunteers often do manual work; ergo “Endure The Inconvenience”
Shirley told us about when ten of them cleaned many a wheelchair
They did it to help the disabled centre and to show that they care
The man wanted to join Jesus but to Decapolis, Jesus did him compel
When Jesus has affected our lives we must similarly “Go And Tell”
Shirley said our calling is not just about the gifting that God in us did install
It is about bringing God to the people around us, as did the apostle Paul
We should not become overwhelmed by the community’s needs
We should instead use our giftings to do God-inspired deeds
Per Jeremiah chapter twenty two verse sixteen, all went well
For he who defended the poor and needy, Shirley did re-tell
