His People

These, my people.

How can i leave them for others?

Who will care about their souls? 

Who will mention their names at prayer meetings? 

These, my people who I have struggled and learned to love.

And now leave them? 

Leave the watching of their souls? 

The agonized prayers.

The words spoken, trying to show truth?

Leave this? 

Yet if this is His calling, if I must leave these people who have been my passion, my heart, then the Father Who's hand guides me elsewhere will be faithful to them.

Cannot I trust Him with this? 

He Who said that no man comes unless the Father draws them.

Cannot I trust Him with the drawing? 

And leave them in the Fathers hand.
