NO IDEA

Some people have no idea
Of how much of a blessing they are,
Because their kindness and humility
Is seen from afar.

Some people have no idea
How much their selfless nature assists,
Particularly when they encourage the broken
And their spirit they do lift.

And some have no idea
How far their influence will go,
When in humility they plant a seed
And in love and peace they sow.

But others have no idea
How much of a stumbling block they are,
When their selfish ways and ego
Create emotional wounds and scars.

And others have no idea
How much their anger really hurts,
When they don’t consider the needs of others
With their bitter of outbursts.

We all have no idea
How our words become a snare,
When they’re hasty without any wisdom
When we really do not care.

We all have no idea
How much our sins hurt God Almighty,
Because sin is sin in the eyes of God
That He never does take lightly.

And we all have no idea
Of the pain that Jesus felt,
When He was crucified on our behalf
When He sacrificed Himself.

Because we all have no idea
Of the extent of the Father’s love,
Until we no longer are His enemies
As we are reconciled above.
