This is a journal entry from a few days ago.. it’s kinda rough and has weird interjections here and there with some explanations but it has been on my heart to share… so yeah…
My prayer is that God would use this poem/journal entry thing to kindle the spark of hope there is for Bangla road into a roaring fire.
My spirit was shoved
My eyes were opened
My heart was broken
Today I smiled
It’s a simple thing
I smiled at a girl,
a daughter of the King,
But she doesn’t know it.
She doesn’t know love
She doesn’t know hope
She doesn’t know her worth
For her all hope is gone.
Today I smiled at a girl
I wanted to run to her
I wanted to scoop her up
and take her away.
I wanted to rescue her.
But all I could do was smile.
Smile a smile
that was genuine
a smile that was pure
a smile that was selfless
a smile that was true
a smile that was love
and with that simple smile
all i could hope was it would go
deeper than the glances
deeper than the money
deeper than the abuse
deeper than the pain
All i could do is pray it would be
the kind of smile that would make her wonder
if there is something more
something more than this job
Something more than this bar
Something more than these men
TONIGHT
tonight she dances
hiding the pain
hoping to get noticed
because she needs work,
Tonight I pray for her
I pray for protection
for the Holy Spirit to stir
For the Lord to use that smile
For her to have seen Jesus in me
Tonight I praise
I praise God for what He is doing.
How he is moving
For choosing me
For using me to smile
For today
God has called us to love. And right now the only way I can love is through a smile. A smile that usually gets overlooked… but today was different.
Tonight I rejoice
because TODAY
when I smiled at this girl
our eyes met
and
She smiled back.
And He used another smile to show how important that first smile is.
