Did You Bring Christ With You Everywhere Today?

About a year ago, the following poem came to me...
 
 
I received a gift from God today.
The Holy Spirit has shown me the way.
Christ our Lord is risen and alive,
So in our hearts Gods love will thrive.
 
The gift is ours, but not ours to keep.
To share His presence is what comes from deep.
The ways of the world cannot destroy,
What God the Father himself employed.
 
When Christ our Lord came into this world,
He did not search for another pearl.
He showed God is revealed from deep within.
And to prove His point, He forgave our sin.
 
So as we travel on the journey today.
Fear not what distractions come our way.
Know that in us, is the gift of His life.
And give that presence to others in strife.
 
The joy in Christ did not come from the cross.
He taught us God at every loss.
To know the Trinity as others before us,
We simply rejoice by singing a chorus.
 
The song we sing comes straight from our heart
The wisdom of Christ is the most integral part.
Of whom we are and what we know,
Of how we learn and give and grow.
 
To receive Christ, is the most faithful part.
To share Christ is the gift of His heart.
So next time anything turns you away,
Dig deep inside, because there He will stay.
 
But don't just dig to look for relief.
Share his presence to others in grief.
Remember His gift is revealed to share
And remember that we are His eternal heir.
 
Did you bring Christ with you everywhere today?
