Sharing Love From Sweden - "It Costs"

IT COSTS

by Eva Haglund 

(Stockholm, Sweden)

Counseling at breakfast,

talking about the cost;

I could not go because 

I did not have the price.

My friends could not go either,

because they could not afford to pay;

My heart was sad thinking, 

" Do people have to give 

before they get comforted?"

They without money - 

are stopped at the door?

Were they who did not have enough 

at home for breakfast

Welcome  to the  meal?

Jesus shared the breakfast 

at the sea without fee.

The Samaritan comforted too 

without a price for he.

Was not the gospel for the poor?

Or just for them with money?

In the church would be agape,

To share our bread and honey.

Will the Bread of life -

the Word from heaven cost?

The Bread came to Bethlehem (House of Bread)

For you, and I, and all lost.

Would  He be welcome today?

Or would we close the door?

He gave His life, His Bread, 

He gave his life for the poor. 

Share His love to all,

Even as you are able.

Open the door

To the Star in a stable.

Rev.22:16, Luke 10:30-37
