Working unto Jesus

Today my mother shared this little clip of poetry/ song that Amy Carmichael wrote.  She was a missionary to India who saved many young girls who were kidnapped and sold from a life of sex slavery.  The Lord used her for over 50 years on the mission field.

Amy Carmichael labored and did not look back or seek her own comforts.  She took her chance while upon this earth to die for Jesus so that she might live eternally.  May this poem be an encouragement to all of you who are taking missions trips.  I pray this encourages your heart as it has mine.  Here it is:

Jesus, Savior, dost Thou see

When I'm doing work for Thee?

Common things, not great and grand,

                                   Carrying stones and earth and sand?

                                  I did common work, you know (Jesus Speaking)

                                   Many, Many years ago;

                                   And I don't forget.

                                   I see everything you do for Me.
