Beggars
He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the beggar from the dunghill,
to set them among princes,
and to make them inherit the Throne of Glory.
I Samuel 2:8
You beheld with disdain
The street man slumped against the alley wall,
Wallowing on the dunghill of
Who he is at the moment.
But God is viewing him as who he can become.
Never underestimate the
power of God to change a life.And you,
Standing in the ruins of who you think you are,
Draped in the rags
Of what this world views as prosperity,
Leaning on your crutches
Of pompous respectability;
Remember,
There is hope and mercy for you, too.
Never underestimate the power of God to change a life.
