The crowds are full of individuals

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

Harassed and helpless,
worried and weary,
even the confident
sometimes are teary.

Some grabbing, greedy,
idolised, empty –
none to confide in
admit they are needy.

Wander and wonder
Where am I going?
Struggle and blunder:
sheep to-ing and fro-ing.

Christ with compassion
saw crowds in need –
in such confusion:
no Shepherd to lead.

Pray God to send out
those who can tell
of Him who can help them
and comfort in all.

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:36-38

Some people are always at the edge of the crowd, never really fit in. You could say individualists, it takes all kinds to make a world.

A mind wondering and wandering, I can see nothing wrong with this, creative people always are like that, wandering and wondering and rather, actually more a gift 

Keep well Rhiannon & Nolan

I was only meaning that Jesus could see and aware of the needs of each individual. Some people's difficulties are clear, others, hide them, but are really lonely or struggling in life and spiritually.

Of course nothing wrong with wondering and wandering in general, but again, I meant the wondering about what life is all about, and how to cope, without knowing where to find the answers of the gospel, and wandering in life again without knowing 'the road to heaven.' I hope that's more clear? Rhiannon
