Find Us Faithful

On Sunday evening, a few friends invited about 25 pastors from our area to a dinner in honor of our 30 years of service to our adopted country. What a lovely time we had!

It was an opportunity for friends from our different circles to meet each other and start some friendships. We shared great food and caught up on each others’ lives. We told our story of the miraculous way we came to this country. It was a huge witness to the owner of the restaurant who is getting closer to opening the door of her heart.

A good friend sang a song, the highlight of the evening. Since the room was filled with true pastors, the words echoed in all of our hearts.

It is a Steve Green song called, Find Us Faithful. Here are the words:

We’re pilgrims on the journey
Of the narrow road
And those who’ve gone before us line the way
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary
Their lives a stirring testament to God’s sustaining grace

Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses
Let us run the race not only for the prize
But as those who’ve gone before us
Let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
And our children sift through all we’ve left behind
May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find

CHORUS:
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

The stories different ones shared about how we influenced them had one thread throughout. It was not that we led great revivals or that we pioneered new areas or performed great miracles. It was that we spent time with them, listened to them, spoke the simple words God put in our hearts to say. It was our daily living, our ordinary conversations, our willingness to share our time and hearts that they remembered.

May we each be faithful to serve right where we are, among the people God has brought across our path. May we keep on doing what we know is right and trust the results to God.  When we’ve said all we can say and done all we can do, may there be a legacy in the hearts of those we touched that points them to our Faithful Friend!
